Royal bar brooch with gold Prince of Wales feathers surrounded by an oval intaglio of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the highest honor the United Kingdom offers.

Measures 2'' in length and nearly 0.5'' across the decoration. Fine. Provenance from Sotheby's auction of The Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor, held in Geneva on 3 April 1987, lot 178.
