Detachment?

 

I can look for "hours" to this object. Look at the images. The images behind the images. The different cultural influences. What is nor said nor shown. Imagine where all the precious stones came from. Imagine who made it where, how and for whom. Imagine which ladies (only "ladies"?) have worn this. The pride with which it was worn. Or was it worn with detachment?

P.S. Sold by Skinner Auctioneers in 2010 at auction Fine Art Nouveau, number 2529B, lot number 795: here.
