A very unique Damascene (Toledo Ware) brooch with a beautiful cameo inset at the centre. I am fairly certain the cameo is a hand carved shell cameo and not a resin, but to be perfectly honest I am not an expert on cameos and therefore cannot guarantee this. The cameo is right facing when worn, she has beautiful features and long flowing hair, the face is an off-white or antique white on a light beige ecru setting. The cameo itself measures 1/2" in diameter and is beautifully framed is a Damascene oval setting. The full measurement of the brooch is 1-3/4" in length from east to west and 1-1/4" inches in height from north to south. The backing is gold tone and there is the old style of push pin close, a variation the the "C" close on the back, which fastens very securely. The brooch is in excellent condition and a very wonderful and unusual Estate purchase - I have never encountered a cameo married in a Damascene setting before.
