At an exhibition I came across this series of brooches brilliantly crafted by the Swedish silversmith/craftsman Christer Jönsson.
Each is a strange little asymmetrical world in itself- or rather a little stage- of intertwining branches of silver and gold from which hang little minature figures and ornaments. They are little set-pieces, with bats and skulls and skeletons, comedy and tragedy masks and marionette-like human figures in flat silver.
