Austro-Hungarian pin with an oriental motif
A pin made of 14k yellow gold. The decorative element features a finely crafted oriental figure; at the time the jewelry was made, we would have called it a "Blackamoor." The figure, wearing a turban, is set with natural sea coral and decorated all over with colored enamels. Due to the pin´s considerable age, the enamel is missing in places, and the item shows signs of wear. It was stamped with the Austro-Hungarian “fox” hallmark, used since 1872.
