Large Victorian Engraved Silver Trowel Pendant c.1900

Description

An unusual oversized Victorian trowel pendant; beautifully modelled in silver with hand-engraved floral detail. This quirky piece would perhaps have been given as a commemorative gift for a stone-laying ceremony or perhaps as a masonic piece although it has no other masonic connotations and it has a feminine floral feel rather than masculine. Alas it has no inscription to give us further indications so is its true meaning remains a mystery.

A really striking oversized piece this looks great as a statement on its own or layered with other pieces. The reverse is also a nice size for an engraving if you wished to inscribe it for you or a friend.
