History of Artefact	It would have been part of a dress. Late Victorian, possibly Edwardian. Detachable from the dress. Historian - ‘Of course today we are used to very bright whites. Victorian whites were much more cream. It may not be British, it's the sort of thing that a soldier or sailor may bring home. It could be mediterranean.’
Historian	John Stedman
Previous Owners	My husband's step-mother
Special Memories	‘It reminds me of my husband's step-mother - she wasn't very kind my husnband or any of her other children. They had lost their mother.’
