Exceptionally rare Berlin Iron and gold bracelets composed of eagle headed ouroborus-like links.c.1820.
Each bracelet 7 inches.
A single eagle link is included in a necklace in the V and A collection described as produced after a design by Johann Geiss.
Each bracelet has an iron cameo clasp set in gold with cupids riding lions to symbolise Love Conquering Strength.
The clasps are slightly different sizes and subtly different compositions.
The eagle played a significant role as a symbol in Prussian and German history, particularly during the Prussia wars.
It was a symbol of power, military strength, and national identity.
Rarest of the rare.
