Thanks! This might be a usage that has fallen out of fashion, because a search of dictionaries online didn’t turn it up.

4. (Fine Arts) One of a pair; a counterpart; as, one vase is
the pendant to the other vase.
[1913 Webster]

Note particularly the construction “pendant to”. My brain wants to use my rusty school French to parse “pendant to” as “concurrent to”, in these examples.
