Antique Carved Shell Cameo Two Hand Maidens Figure Gold Tone Swivel Brooch Pin

Antique Vintage c1860s STUNNING Victorian oval cameo pinchbeck mourning brooch in gold tone metal. Carved shell Cameo of Two Hand Maidens. Wonderful detailed swivel brooch meant to have an old photo or hair under glass in the back, but it is empty and open.

Moreover the cameo will swivel but does not come round a full 180 degrees. Measures approximately 2" x 1 5/8". Great condition for its age and is carved in great detail. I don't see any damage or cracks in the cameo itself, but there are some scratches, cracks and a missing piece on the back of the case where the photo would be (see picture for details).
