Antique 1920s Reverse Painted Intaglios Victorian Carved Glass Swallow Bird & Rose Brooch

This best I could determine from internet research is this piece appears to be a reverse painted intaglios and dates in the 1920s or early 1930s. It is costume jewelery made in the Victorian style, reminiscent of reverse carved and painted intaglio glass or rock crystal jewelry. This appears to be brass metal with a glass center.

Approx. Dimensions: 1-1/2" W x 1" T x 1/4" Thick

BACKGROUND INFO ON Reverse Painted Intaglios (which is what this piece appears to be):

A Reverse Painted Intaglios Victorian Brooch is a type of jewelry that was popular during the Victorian era. It is made with a glass or crystal cabochon that has been carved in reverse, so that the image appears when viewed from the front. The carving is then painted with oil paints, creating a three-dimensional effect. These brooches were often used as decorative pieces, but they could also be used to mark special occasions or to commemorate loved ones.
