Details

This exquisite antique Victorian brooch features a large, high relief cameo hand carved from a bull mouth shell and set in a 9ct gold frame.

The cameo depicts the goddess of youth “Hebe” who is seen here bearing a cup for her father Zeus who is sometimes depicted as an eagle, symbolising immortality and regeneration. 

Roman style Cameo’s were highly sought after in the 19th century during the 'Grand Tour' days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They often depicted Goddesses and characters from mythology and became a favourite of Queen Victoria also. 

It’s in excellent condition and a wonderful work of art.
