this is an old shell cameo brooch / pendant into a 14 karat gold filigree setting. It represents a lady with beaded headband.
It dates probably to the early 1900 and the old pin safety (clearly marked "14K") backs up this assessment.
The brooch measures 1 1/2 in. long (cm.4) and 1 1/4 in. wide (cm. 3) and was bought through internet by a Canadian dealer.
