Vintage 9ct Gold Donkey with Panniers Charm

A substantial and charming vintage donkey charm, hallmarked London, 1970s. This solid 9ct yellow gold piece is expertly cast in a dynamic, life-like pose, complete with a pair of textured "woven" pannier baskets slung across its back.

The level of detail is exceptional, from the donkey's expressive face and long ears to the intricate "wicker" texture of the baskets. Unlike many hollow charms of the era, this is a heavy, solid casting weighing nearly 6g, giving it a premium feel and ensuring it hangs beautifully on a bracelet or chain. A nostalgic and whimsical piece, it’s a perfect addition for a collector of figural British gold charms.
