The listing, MUST SEE!! VERY OLD~~COAT OF ARMS, SHIELD BROOCH~~ ILLUMINATI?? has ended.
I'm still unearthing amazing items from the suitcase of my Wandering Grandfather, Honorious. He was a very Rogue Frenchman, that travled the World in search of adventure &collectibles much to the dismay of my Grandmother, Blanche. I do believe I have already told some of you about the Monkey! Ah..but that's another story~~
This amazing find was from his time in Italy. He was a Religious man & went to visit all the wonders of the Vatican & surrounding Chapels & Museums nearby. His vicarious nature often enabled him to go where other foreigners could not go~~
This heavy pin, has a very Secret Society vibe to it. Illuminati? Perhaps? Did the Pope wear this or one of his Cardinals or confidants?? Who knows?? Priests, perhaps??
The Crown with a Dove on either side of it is atop a Green enamelled/Gullioche background. I believe the VERY Ornate setting to be Brass with a Gold Wash, it's very dimentional & really stands out when pinned to a coat, cape or shawl. It measures 2.5" in diameter & has a rollover clasp, there are no markings on it at all, to aid in it's maker's identification or age.
