About the Item
Commanding and enigmatic, this antique brooch features a masterfully carved cameo portrait of Cleopatra, the legendary Queen of Egypt, set in rich, naturally patterned tortoise shell. Her regal profile is captured with classical finesse—complete with diadem and flowing hair—evoking themes of power, beauty, and timeless intrigue. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this piece is both a tribute to ancient royalty and a reflection of Victorian-era fascination with classical antiquity.
