<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 334777, member: 5833"]The Met makes things that are either reproductions of or, especially when it comes to jewellery, inspired by an art work. I don't recognize this piece, but it immediately gave me a religious feel - the reticulated design reminds me of stained glass windows - & a closer look makes me think it is a dove, not an eagle. Wrong beak, for starters. And the Holy Spirit is often symbolized by a dove, although usually with outspread wings, on many a stained glass window.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
