doesn't seem like a woman would want to wear a snake brooch, it must have some kind of symbolism. I suppose if it does, someone on TNet will have the answer. Cool find.

Dates to turn of the century, when snake motif was huge. Worth having that restored and wearing on a chain as a pendant.

Cool find.

Maybe this is an "Orphic egg" brooch? Did you have any freemason lodges around there?
