This should be titled " Antique carved coral ganapati shawl brooch". My additional information is wrong on some, too. This should read "Coral, turquoise with kundan glass cabochons on gold washed brass". Frankie.
I very much doubt that this is in any sense "antique", and would also question the nature of the so-called coral and turquoise used. These are in essence badly made pieces for a (current) mass market.
A little like your Ganesh, Harald. Also probably glass. The turquoise has been declared as good by an ex dealer in antique jewels.
