    "description": "This morse is of quatrefoil form with three colors of enamel. Two candle-bearing angels with white enamel details beneath trefoil arches flank the Virgin and Child on the plate decorating the pin. They are surrounded by dragons in lozenges of red enamel, divided by triangles of red enamel with central white flowers. Three areas of the border have been broken away, including the dragon figure beneath the angel in the left valve, and much enamel is missing.",
