Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, author of Necronomicon
When it comes to Cthulhu Mythos there are always tentacled items -i like them very much- but i don’t remember seeing anything related to Alhazred. So this is my personal tribute to H. P. Lovecraft:

The grave of Childeric was discovered by chance in 1653 in Tournai, close to the Church of Saint-Brice, Tournai, Belgium. 
The burial was extremely rich and contained jewellery, two swords, a battle axe and a spear, gold and silver coins, buckles, a crystal ball, horse-harness and a hundred gold bees.

19th Century Large Anglo-Indian Vishnu & Kali Locket, Silver, $425
I always love the overlap of Indian and Victorian jewelry in the 19th century.  This locket is something that probably came back to England as a souvenir of India.  But in spite of the Hindu motifs on either side of the locket, it probably has more in common with English Victorian jewelry than with Indian jewelry.  Lockets of similar construction with raised figural motifs were popular in the mid to late 19th century in England.  An Indian jeweler likely modeled this one after an English example.  
It’s hard to relay in a photo, but the scale and depth of relief in the design are really amazing.  It’s huge.
P.S. I believe that’s Kali and Vishnu pictured, but if I’m wrong, do let me know!
P.P.S From the same estate, we also have a bracelet with similar motifs.
