Though I'm phobic of real insects, I couldn't let this one go...
I was the only bidder on it, so...
Whole brooch is 1.3/4" wide and 1.1/4 high.
A neat item from the era!
And one more critter ;-)

BEAUTIFUL!!!
Stunning indeed!
Thanks DrFluffy, Sean and Elisabethan for your kind comments, and thank you PatSea for loving my new critter :-))
Very nice scarab!!!
Kyra how do they stop the scarab from degrading? Is is lacquered?
Hi Racer! No painting on it, only natural colors. The beetle is dried, as in the entomology shadow boxes.
Victorian used rather these ones:
