Victorian Real Egyptian Scarab Butterfly Brooch - Very Unusual

Description

Here is a very unusual and intriguing piece.  This is a "real" Egyptian Scarab set in a Victorian butterfly setting.  I am not sure what metal was used, but don't believe it was gold.  This piece probably dates back to the 1870's or 1880's most likely.  Good luck finding another one like this.  There is no marking on the piece that I can find.  The brooch measures approximately 1 3/8 inches across by 1 1/8 inches tall.  Please understand, given the age of this item, you are buying "as is."
