Lot Description

AN 18K GOLD PEARL, DIAMOND AND RUBY-INLAID 'HOOPOE' BROOCH




ESTIMATE: HK$ 10,000 / RMB 8,800

1960s. The Western phoenix resembles a Chinese hoopoe, a religious and legendary symbol since ancient times. The bird features a phoenix crown, a long, pointed beak and neatly-arranged plumage. It represents prudence, loyalty, peace, happiness and good health. 18K gold all over, the bird is set with diamonds on its neck, with ruby-inlaid eyes and a pearl in its beak. The distinct feathers and powerful claws make this piece look alive. Measures around 60 x 50 mm.
