Description
Antique Renaissance Revival Rooster Pendant Brooch. A figural pendant-brooch fashioned in the form of a striding rooster. This piece features vibrant translucent green, orange, and red enamel feathers applied over a silver ground. The central body is inset with an irised piece of mother-of-pearl, embellished further with a small accent cluster of red gemstones. The brooch is suspended from a delicate integrated trace chain featuring eight interspersed small pearls, connecting to a smaller secondary piece. The secondary piece is expertly styled as a Greco-Roman caduceus (the staff of Hermes/Mercury featuring two entwined serpents and wings) adorned with matching green and orange enamel accents. Brooch measures 2.5″ x 2″, secondary piece measures 1.25″.
