    I picked this up a while back. It is an enameled plaque just shy of 3 inches in diameter. It appears to have some age to it. The dark border has a green foily iridescence to it. I would love to know more.

    It seems slightly too heavy to be part of a compact decoration.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Hand painted? Does it look like one prong is broken off or is that something different?? I think she's very cool!!!

    I would guess snuff/patch box lid as lilwitch did. Georgian period or in that style?

    Georgian-inspired but not period.

    It's hard for me to tell whether it's hand painted or not. It appears to be.
    One prong is broken off.

    That definitely looks like what it could be. I was thinking maybe that it had once been framed in one of those small circular frames, but I imagine it could be part of a lid for something as well.

    Is it antique or just vintage? It looks like it has some definite age to it.
