    Description

    This 1" long sterling silver medal (not including the measurement for the loop) weighs 5.8 grams.
    The piece was made by Josten of Owatonna, MN, famous for their years of making sports medals.
    It depicts a woman playing basketball, possibly volleyball, and judging from the design and the details of the woman's hair and dress, it dates from around the 1920s.
    This piece might have been a medal, but there is no citation on it of a contest.
    The pendant is in good condition, with understandable wear. The details of the woman's dress and hair are clear and the overall design is crisp.
    An early depiction of women in athletics, this is a memorable and significant piece of history.
