    Although there is some damage in hair work of this mourning brooch I love it. With gold snake (Rubin on head) eating its own tail as a perpetual cyclic renewal of life and infinity, the concept of eternity and the eternal return, and represents the cycle of life, death and rebirth, leading to immortality. There is also a little golden heart representing love.

      kyrarango thanks for your nice comment and love. Until now I have not responded to your questions about your pot but often looked if I could verify that this hallmarks are probably Dutch. That's all I know so far not the case. If I find something then I'll show you obviously know.
