Vintage Silver Brooch Signed Milo Laurel Leaf Bay Leaf Symbol of Victory Luck
About the Item
This elegant silver brooch was handcrafted in 1920 ca. It is designed in the shape of a leaf, probably a laurus nobilis leaf. As bay leaf it is part of mediteranien cuisine. Laurel has been cultivated since antiquity as a medical, spice and ornamental plant. Since antiquity the leaf is attributed with victory, good luck and power. The plant is associated with the greek god Apollo. In greek language the word for laurel is identical with the name Daphne. In greek mythology Apollo pursued the nymph Daphne who could not stop the advances of the god and asked goddess Gaia for help. Gaia rescued the nymph and left a laurel tree in her place. Apollo, inconsolable, wrought himself a wreath out of laurel leaves.
Certain antique sports events, held in the honour of Apollo, crowned the winners with wreath made out of laurel. In ancient Rome laurel was associated with Victory.
The brooch was photographed in the condition it came in, it will be cleaned and the pin will be straightened.
