Description: Incredible sepia painting on ivory is set in a rose gold frame.  The touching sepia painting has hair in it.  The words written on this brooch are so moving.  I have had many sepia pieces but none with this sentiment.  "I mourn her loss".   This brooch was once a clasp and was converted probably during the late part of the 19th century.  to see other views: 4369a.jpg  and 4369b.jpg
