Not on view
Clipped fragment with an etching of a design for a brooch or hair ornament, possibly created by Friedrich Jacob Morrison, a German jewelry designer active from 1693 to 1697. His designs ranged from ornamental religious subjects to jeweled sword hilts and fans, and included different types of jewelry. The design consists of an undulating branch with offsetting, scrolling leaves, decorated with oval, faceted stones of different sizes and shades of gray. This kind of etching was produced to be collected by jewelers to use in the design process of their own creations.
