<p>[QUOTE="Aureliel, post: 297532, member: 3623"]I adore this antique paste brooch and am curious as to what its meaning could be. I've seen brooches before with one arrow across them, but what could the two crossed arrows mean? I believe the crown shape above the heart means loyalty, as in a witch's heart motif, although the bottom of the heart does not have the traditional curve to the right. But I'm not sure - maybe it could have a different meaning here?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as can be seen in the third picture, the two arrows are hinged and lift up - why is this so? With my other questions the replies I've gotten have been positively enlightening so I thought I'd ask you all about this one. I'm excited to hear any insight you may be able to offer - thanks!!
