The familiar Jasper Ware, a white relief on a blue background is immediately recognizable and has often been referred to as \"Wedgwood Blue\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAsclepius is the ancient Greek hero and god of medicine.

Set in 14 karat yellow gold, it shows Asclepius with his staff on the front and Metatron with her pen on the reverse. Wedgwood pieces have the date numbers stamped on the back, but we are unable to read them in this case, as they have been covered by setting them back to back. A wonderful, symbolic brooch perfect for any healer, with a hidden allegory just for the wearer!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails (approximate)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 1\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 3.82 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: Gold, Wedgwood Jasper Wear pottery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal: 14K yellow gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: None visible\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very good antique condition commensurate with age and wear.
