Art Deco Silver & Marcasite Lizard Brooch

90M
Written by Olly Gerrish

A well made silver lizard brooch. It has been set with graded marcasite and has small green paste eyes. Lizards of all kinds have a long history representing good luck. In Ancient Greece and Rome lizards also symbolised wisdom and good fortune. It was made circa 1920 in Germany. The German models are normally of a much higher quality than the English equivalent.
