Description

DATE: Georgian, c.1760

A cool Georgian intaglio seal fob dating from the latter half of the 18th century, circa 1760. The chalcedony panel is engraved with a Welsh heraldic crest and Latin motto that reads: DEUS PASCIT CORVOS, or "God feeds the ravens". The crest comprises a shield with three ravens and a chevron, with a further raven perched on top and foliate decorations running along the edges - I believe it to be the Williams family crest and motto (source: Google). A beautifully ornate fob body completes the piece, crafted in 15 karat rose gold.
