The thin agate is cut into segments which have been veneered onto a black slate panel to stabilise the collection which is then mounted to the framework of the silver brooch with four heavy silver claws which can be seen on the reverse of the brooch.

Antique Victorian Serpentine Scottish Agate Brooch
