Victorian Moonstone Scorpion Brooch jade An incredible Georgian seal fob

An incredible Georgian seal fob set with an intaglio carved yellow agate in the base

It's crafted in sterling silver and snakewood (touch for luck)

rose gold studs indicating the hours

My first thought on seeing the subject was a link with Artemis (via Agamemnon/Actaeon)

The level of detail to the crown (front and back) is superb
