Description
- an enamelled gold baroque pearl circlet
composed of twelve links, finely wrought with filigree rosettes within enamelled foliate decoration, filigree interior and outer border
Condition
Overall the links are in good condition. The circlet has been reset for ornamentation probably for ecclesiastical use, perhaps around the base of a monstrance. There is a base metal wire ring under the filigree at the inner edge for strengthening. There are some minor losses to the filigree edging and to the enamel.
