This is a really stunning, Chinese hand carved bovine bone brooch set in a yellow metal mount.
The brooch depicts a number of courtiers in a garden setting beneath pagodas, and the carving has been executed in really fine detail and deep three dimensional relief.
The carving is executed in very deep three dimensions, and the brooch has a really lovely, aged golden patina
The mount has beautiful rolling scrolls to top and bottom, and is unmarked.
The brooch is in very go...od antique condition. I can find no signs of any damage nor losses to the brooch. The yellow metal mount has numerous scratches and dings and signs of solder repairs to the rear.
The brooch weighs 17 g and is 48 mm x 40 mm, and is 13 mm deep.
Clearly a fine quality antique.
