Victorian 15ct Gold Butterfly Brooch

469Z
Added Today

An unusual 15ct gold butterfly brooch that was made circa 1860-1880. Normally we come across butterfly brooches that are face on whereas this example is viewed from the side. It has been realistically engraved in great detail.

The butterfly is a symbol of the soul, immortality, rebirth and resurrection, the ability to transform, a butterfly is born, transforming from a caterpillar. Also, the butterfly is a symbol of the Great Goddess. The image of the Great Goddess goes back to the ancient times of human history, to the Paleolithic. This supreme deity personified heaven and earth at the same time, life and death.

So the wearing of this butterfly carries wonderful meanings.
