Two serpent heads face off in a dramatic hinged clamper, their bodies encrusted edge to edge in clear pavé rhinestones set within a honeycomb-textured gold-tone frame. Faceted black rhinestone eyes and enameled red mouths give the piece real bite, in the bold figural style popularized by mid-century costume houses. Unsigned, but exceptional in scale and craftsmanship.
