Erotic bronze medallion
« on: April 19, 2009, 11:27:51 am »
Hello all, first post and an interesting little trinket to share wondered if anyone could shed some light on it.
It was sold to me as a 19th century erotic medallion, I've done a bit of research and it seems such a thing existed but its purpose and who would own such a thing remains a mystery.

Here's the front and back, if anyone could confirm the date or tell me a bit more about it I'd be very grateful



Apologies for the blurry images, it's tough to get a clear one of it.

     This is a intresting piece to say the least, not sure how one could verify date, history or manufacture for it appears to have no markings.  It appears to be copper also, like the art design on it.  Appears to be a Art Novae period art to me.   I would also say it was made for use as a medallion to be place in a neckless.   Again without marks, all this would be hard to place in facts.  You will have to determine clues through the Art.  Value on a piece like this can only really be determined by the price 2 people are willing to pay.
