專家說明

This elegantly decorated gem set jade ornament is believed to have been found on the body of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore who was defeated by British forces in 1799. His treasury was subsequently distributed amongst members of the campaign and the most significant items were presented to George III and Queen Charlotte (Beijing 2018, p.153). It has been suggested that this ornament probably decorated the belt loop of a dagger (Paris 2017, p.105). It was converted into a brooch in the 19th century. It comes in a fitted case from Rowlands and Frazer jewellers and is accompanied by a hand-written note which mentions Tipu Sultan and is dated 1799.
