| Rare and lovely early 19th century mourning brooch, in sepia, chopped hair and watercolor on ivory. Set in silver, the brooch features a landscape with a sunset tinted sky. Trees and grass are fashioned of hair; one tree has been broken and hangs over a tomb on which is inscribed “Wiedersehn” – “Goodbye”! The reverse is inscribed: “Vergiss Nicht Deinen Verewigten Jugend Freund”, or “Do not forget the immortalized friend of your youth”! Just wonderful! Excellent condition; the reverse and obverse are out of alignment. | |||||
