What a rare treat this is! Made of bog oak this gold inlaid ( almost like damascene) chatelaine brooch is more like a piece of art than jewelry. If you hold your nose to it you can smell a strong odor of a poignant wood. Once you smell that you can identify this wonderful jewelry component again and again. This has the brooch pin back, a chain with an additional pin and also two tiny holes at the top where a thin chain would have been threaded thru to have this as a necklace. The metal work is very good and the bow at the top leads me to believe that it is a truly a mourning brooch. This brooch measures almost 1 1/2" across and is all HAND carved. You can even see a little piece of sap coming from it. Very minor wear and microscopic holes are all that is wrong with this delightful piece of jewelry. Always one of kind, these are rare and quite collectible.
