	Hand-painted portrait pin is set in gold filled enamel frame of navy blue and white. The lkady figure appears to be painted on metal and she has been coated or shellacked to protect the painting. This is probably original to the piece and the coating shows some age but nothing untoward. Another view. The enamel is deep and perfect. Measures just over an inch wide. Someone has tested it for gold content and left a mark on the back or it may have had the clasp added later but if so, an old alteration. Pin back is soldered on. View the back.
