The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford's museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. This beautiful pendant was donated to the Ashmolean Museum in 1958 by Sir Herbert Ingram, who traveled to Japan during his honeymoon in 1908. In Japanese culture, the crane represents good fortune and longevity and is known as the "bird of happiness"—a fitting theme for newlyweds.
