Antique Intricate Ornate Micro Mosaic Pin Brooch Italy Brass Micromosaic GS656

Antique Intricate Ornate Micro Mosaic Pin Brooch Italy Brass Micromosaic 

Micro-mosaics are created from tiny pieces of glass or enamel, called tesserae, which are arranged to form an image. Each micro mosaic is made by a steady and patient hand –a skill set that can be appreciated as these micro-mosaics are usually measured no more than a few inches, and each piece of tesserae can be as small as a pencil lead, about 1 mm. It is truly an art form, a labor of love.
