[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 466851, member: 8569"]A very emotive find often rid because most people have problems with human parts…:bored: In most cultural societies the use as a memento mori is joined with a name, group of words or a date to commemorate them, I know only the european ones which can give the name, age of death, dates of birth and death, often in this order, Swiss ones, french and english I have or had in my possession are in this order. In this case it's certainly just a remembrance as you said, made in the 1850-1920 period in my opinion looking at the cut of the glass and how the back is mounted on the machine made enclosure, the golden wire often broke because it's made on silk and acidity of copper/gold flat wire destroy the silk thread, near impossible to make other than preserve. I often have this type of item to clean from families, the glass is fragile but with watch hand levers you can take it out without risks.[/QUOTE]
