An exceptional handpainted hair broach. Piece is a necklace pendant of a lady in rather formal attire. Piece is artist signed - difficult for me to read - ???? Poxt - but purely a guess. Reverse of piece is woven hair jewelry with a small detailed scene of 3 children, sheep, trees, and a house. I am not sure of the material---could be ivory I guess but am not sure----sorry. It appears to me one of the limbs of the tree has been reglued in the proper place; only noticeable with magnification. Overall excellent condition. Beautiful gold bezel frame with twisted rope design around. A beautiful miniature on porcelain example of sentimental jewelry. Approximately 1 3/8 x 1 5/8 (not including ring).
