A scalloped, shield-shaped locket richly engraved from edge to edge — a central fern-like leaf rises between two blossoms, framed by curling scrollwork and a finely textured background. The ornate cutout bail adds extra presence at the top, and the piece opens on a side hinge to reveal photo compartments inside.
