Victorian Banded Onyx Brooch with Fly on Top

9T
160 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

Quite what the hidden meaning is of a fly on top of a banded sardonyx is beyond me!   The mount is pinchbeck with a rope border. and there is a glazed locket section to the reverse.  Either way it is an unusual brooch to wear and would be sure to attract comment.  It was made circa 1860-1880.
