Victorian Diamond Pearl Gold Chimera Brooch

About the Item

The Victorian Chimera Brooch, a mythological beast in Greek mythology, has the head of a lion, the tail of a snake, the body of a sheep, and the wings of an eagle. Chimera, which stands for strength and guardianship, is a common theme of mythological beasts in antique jewelry. The hand-engraved craftsmanship of this brooch is vivid and exquisite, and Chimera's demeanor is very expressive.
