Not on view

Three designs for jewelry, all decorated with beetles. The first design is for a symmetric brooch with meandering openwork and two beetles. In the middle a stickpin is depicted crowned by a beetle under an arch of silver openwork. The third design shows an ornament for a brooch or pin and is characterized by two beetles which face each other. The designs are individually numbered (continuous from the previous pages).
