Victorian Hand Carved Ivory Wheat Sheat Brooch Pin
Meticulously hand carved by a master carver, this exquisite Victorian brooch features a sheaf of wheat motif. (c. 1870-90) An Ivory brooch such as this captivating French piece would be given as a token of marital bliss or sorrow. The wheat sheaf was representative of divine harvest and marital fertility. If this image appeared on a memorial piece it conveyed sorrow over the death of an aged loved one. One of the most beautiful Antique Ivory brooch I have come across.
Condition: Excellent. Truly superb!
