The Peranakan thing is why I’d tagged Shangas.
It’s not mine, so I don’t have a photo yet, it belongs to my clever friend. A brooch, which we both think is gold, and the back looks twenties or...
It would have set me off, too. The sheer workmanship.
I’d missed that, I don’t think it’s Asian either. It’s much more likely to be British or mainland Europe, Italy included.

Ta! Might be part of a large jar, or vase.
Czech glass is lovely. That’s a very fifties into sixties colour.
