Further details
The Tiffany scarf pins represent two different periods in the firm's history. The head of Medusa is an adaptation of an archeological revival pendant necklace reproduced from the Curium Treasury (c. 1877), while the baroque pearl nautilus shell was exhibited in their display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago
