Wow - What an extraordinary and so rare Brooch.
Circa 1820 the this Ouroboros Snake Mourning Brooch is steeped in symbolism indicative of eternity and endless re-emergence. This example is particularly impressive with its centrepiece of woven hair surrounded by glowing Seed Pearls with the Golden Snake clearly biting its own tail.
It is fine condition for age & is crafted in solid 9ct yellow Gold.
A rare item indeed with valuation attached.
