Circa 1890/ 1920
Late Victorian celluloid raised image cameo. Depicted is the Goddess Pomona. Pomona was the goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards. She watches over and protects fruit trees and cares for their cultivation.

This highly raised cameo image shoes a garland of apples around her neck. A light tap on image feels hollow. That is why I feel it is celluloid. The metal banding is braided brass. Solid metal back with C clamp stick pin. Please note, the C is not loose but is open a bit wide.

If brooch was worn, I would bend down a little. That will be left to new owner. Probably only displayed in a lovely collection. There are no markings. The lovely lady is not cracked, probably need a little wash up. This is my best description.

2 1/4" wide and 2 3/4"
