Rectangular brooch, with a gold outer frame that has round corners and raised cusped and scalloped edges, with, in the centre, a rectangular compartment containing inter-woven blonde hair under glass, mounted in a plain gold rub-over setting, surrounded by a foliated gold frame. Between the outer and inner frames, the flat area of the brooch is enamelled onto a copper alloy plate in a translucent dark blue enamel that optically appears opaque black, and bears a gilt flower head at one end, the gothic initials MD at the opposite end, and, on the two long sides, the gothic initials RD, DI? and J?N?, MT? respectively. The gold back-plate is engraved 'Matilda/Obit 17th Feby/1842'. Brooch-pin fastening on the back: silver alloy or nickel-silver catch-plate and hinge-plate with a copper alloy (probably copper) pin. The lower quality of the fastening and excess solder around the hinge-plate suggest the pin is a replacement or later addition. The hinge plate partly covers an indentation in the gold back-plate that may relate to an earlier fitting.referenceexhibition-3260adlib-exhibition-3260821e2a99-5861-36f6-b61e-49f80f8d737aThe Object of My Affection: Stories of Love from the Fitzwilliam CollectionM.16-20001accession numberM.16-200028453priref28453entry form number140urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/28453https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/28453Gothic letteringflat area of broochin goldMDinitialsGothic letteringon two long sidesin gold'RD, D' [?] and '[?]DM[?]initialson backengravingMatilda/Obit 17th Feby/1842inscriptionreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Mrs Stella Barnesreferenceagent-166476adlib-agent-1664765b07889e-2e64-341c-8ecc-164960a287a0Barnes, Stella F., Mrs200020002000-11-20givenFor the provenance of the brooch, see a letter from Mrs Barnes dated 8 October 2000 in the object's file shared with M.17 and 18-2000.1842CE1842circa1842probablymakerreferenceagent-149652adlib-agent-1496520d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98Unknownreferenceterm-106851adlib-term-106851e155f998-1e0b-3f2a-851c-24f44d05dd5919th Century, Mid#Lengthcm3.2Widthcm2.6referencemedia-206087adlib-media-20608771325287-1c21-3cb1-9e2d-c678fa4e5fd1jpegaa/aa37/M_16_2000_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1025widthpixels88516162602021571imagejpegaa/aa37/mid_M_16_2000_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels579widthpixels50016162602021571imagejpegaa/aa37/M_16_2000_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1025widthpixels88516162602021571imagejpegaa/aa37/preview_M_16_2000_1_201801_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels290widthpixels25016162602021571image0media
