A lava cameo brooch with a high relief cut out set in a 14 karat gold frame. The high relief depicts a graceful muse playing her lyre. The 14 karat gold border is finely detailed with twisted ribbon around the edge, rope motifs and granulation on the surface. The thin lava cameo is beautifully crafted by hand.
The depiction is presumably Terpsichore, daughter of Zeus and one of the nine muses in Greek mythology. Her name means 'she who likes to dance' and she is the muse of dance and lyrical poetry, and the patroness of the choir. Her attribute is the lyre.
The lava brooch is in very good condition, with minimal signs of wear. Tested as 14k gold. Hallmarks are illegible.
Measurements: L 4.1 cm x W 3.5 cm
Weight: 12.24 grams
The brooch will be beautifully gift-wrapped in a black and gold Heztia jewelry box.
