Art Nouveau Carved Horn Bee Brooch

908C
703 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good example of an Art Nouveau carved horn bee brooch. The bee, found in Ancient Near East and Aegean cultures, was believed to be the sacred insect that bridged the natural world to the underworld. These meanings were revived in the Art Nouveau period and used symbolically in the jewellery.
