About this work

Jewel-shaped boat with nine diamonds, set in silver. The central diamond is a flat rose, the eight smaller diamonds are splinters all provided with several facets. On the back, '187' is engraved. The back is provided with a golden slide with, opposite it, the remains of an original attachment point. This may have been a (sliding) lock of a necklace.
