---
Given by Mr and Mrs Jenkins to their younger daughter Claire on the occasion of her confirmation; personalised with her initials ‘CJ’ to the reverse.
The seven dots to either side of the pendant represent the seven deadly sins (pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth) to be avoided and the counterbalancing seven heavenly virtues (chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility) to be attained/demonstrated.
The correspondence between Louis and Dorothy Jenkins that accompanies this piece gives an amusing illustration that Louis’ talents lay most decidedly in the creative sphere and not in book keeping or administration. He enquires: “Did I ask you the usual 50% on Claire’s little cross […]: I can’t remember & didn’t keep a note –– but I’ve had ideas & this is under way : so if I didn’t I’d be glad of it : but if I did and you have already paid me say ‘How tiresome he is’, and throw this away“ (21 January 1977).
Exhibited:
