Victorian Silver & Gold Hunting or Hare Coursing Brooch

Description

A fascinating silver brooch measuring 40mm x 24mm with light etching depicting the scene of two dogs, possibly lurchers, chasing after a rabbit.  The scene is enhanced by the subtle use of light gold overlay in places.  The brooch has a hinge pin and ‘C’ catch and has a registration mark on the back which tells us the date it was registered 6th October 1880.  Weight 10g.
