19th Century Silver Cloisonné Brooch 22 G, Virgin Crab And Dove Hallmark

This brooch has all the cloisonné work with a Virgin and a dove, a crab hallmark (guaranteed small works 2nd title departments since 1838). Note some wear on the cloisonné. In the Bible the dove is the most mentioned bird, embodying beauty, tenderness and fidelity of love, but also purity, freedom and the passionate search for God. His groans are those of those who suffer while waiting for the salvation that never comes. With the advent of Christianity, the dove became the symbol of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was baptized, it is said that a dove descended on his head. It is a new beginning for man, the renewal of the Covenant with God after the Flood, the Love of God which descends on men offering them a hope of salvation and eternity.
