Hello truth friends Collectors Community,-10-08-2018----10:30 PM-Ontario, Canada.
This one is a mystery to me, this little brooch appear to have some human hair in the front and the back, is this could be the way to preserve a souvenir of a love one decease, it's look also quite old, could be from the Victorian era, nice design all around look like embedded through the glass.
I hope someone see this kind of brooch before, no marking that i can see.
This brooch is 1 inches wide.
Many thanks for looking.
It's a mourning brooch. Neil
Yes a mourning brooch with the departed person's hair in it

I think it's amazing that nobody interfered with it or removed the hair. Great find Alan!
