Antique Carved Shell Scenic Cameo Rebecca At The retailer Well

Antique scenic carved shell cameo Rebecca at the well. This antique cameo brooch depicts a beautifully detailed scenic landscape. The picket fence, the broken tree and lady waiting are unusual and could be a mourning scene. I have read that a broken tree symbolizes mourning. There is water in the background and a structure with trees. The carved shell is set in an open bezel with a twisted rope border. The gold fill frame has the original hinged pin stick in place but I believe the safety catch to be a replacement. It measures one and five eighths of an inch by 2''. There are a few spots on the back of the rope border that appear to have been repaired, It is a little ot on the one side possibly from replacing the border. Look closely at the photos. It is a wonderful antique cameo and very wearable. retailer
