Antique 14K Yellow Gold Lava Cameo Brooch

About the Item

An antique 19th century high relief lava cameo brooch created with a 14 karat yellow gold frame. This gorgeous carved high relief depicts a graceful muse playing her lyre. The gold border is finely detailed with twisted ribbon around the edge, rope motifs and granulation on it's surface. The lava cameo is beautifully crafted. The depiction is presumably Terpsichore, daughter of Zeus and one of the nine muses in Greek mythology. Her name means 'she who likes to dance' and she is the muse of dance and lyrical poetry, and the patroness of the choir. Her attribute is the lyre. The brooch is in very good condition and of high quality. The brooch measures 41 millimeters in length and 35 millimeters wide. It has a nice heavy weight of 12.24 grams. We will wrap the brooch beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.
