Unusual Antique Shell Cameo Brooch
Victorian carved shell cameo brooch depicting a barefoot
female warrior on horseback spearing an attacking lion. The frame is gold
plated. The cameo swivels and the reverse is a glass compartment. This may
have been a mourning piece and the compartment probaably held a hair memento. At
this time it only contains a piece of green velvet. C-clasp, t-hinge. The cameo
itself measures nearly 2 inches, including the frame, the entire piece is almost 2-3/4
inches. The cameo itself has a bit of roughness along the edge on the top and bottom (seen
only under magnification) and two very light stress lines. The frame has significant
wear to the plating, a couple fine scratches and some very small dents. Free
domestic shipping and insurance.
