Outstanding quality Regency era fob, modelled as a lion standing on a  gold mound; the mound carved in high relief with sea shells and scrolls.
The male lion swishes his tail, looking a mix of majestic and slightly derpy. (see his facial expression)
The fob hangs from a finely carved and decorated jump ring.
 
The fob is set with a large, facetted and bevelled edged uncut amethyst stone measuring 20mm x 17mm
 
The lion is a majestic creature symbolising strength, courage, and leadership. In antique jewelry, lion motifs were frequently incorporated into signet rings and brooches, representing power and nobility.
