Not one of my treasures !

A bit of a challenge to photograph this! It is exhibited in a glass case lit from above - so reflections on the glass - the item itself is made of mother of pearl - shiny - more reflections! It is a letter clip - the silver 'wishbone' on the top is hinged to hold letters in one place but what I love is the delicate etching on the mother of pearl. There is a pastoral scene with trees, a little house and a figure - all on a little object only about 4 inches in diameter. View full screen to see more detail.
