About the Item
This beautiful antique shell cameo depicts St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, seated at an organ in serene devotion. She is shown in flowing robes, hands poised on the keys, with a cross and lilies symbolizing purity and faith placed beside her. Above, angels in the clouds play instruments and sing in celestial accompaniment, completing the sacred imagery. The carving is finely detailed, with remarkable depth in both the figures and architectural elements. It is set in a sterling silver frame with a secure brooch fitting and pendant bail, allowing it to be worn in multiple ways. A rare devotional jewel, this cameo brooch pendant blends religious symbolism with exquisite craftsmanship, making it both a meaningful keepsake and a collectible work of art.
