About this work

Brooch of silver and garnets in a floral motif with a teardrop pendant. The garnets are set on silver foil. Two teardrop pendants, which were likely attached on either side of the central pendant, are probably missing. Two eyes are visible on the back of the brooch for attaching it to clothing. The hook clasp is of a later date.
