Coral brooch probably Neapolitan. Due to the fact that this colour of coral was plentiful in the Bay of Naples and surrounding seas, production of this type of jewellery with a high standard of expertise arose mid 19th century. The snake has emerald eyes and encircles a coral branch surrounded by coral fruit and flowers.
