The slender proportions, alert stance, and flowing tail capture the grace and poise associated with the greyhound, a symbol of loyalty and speed in Victorian symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is set with a finely carved carnelian intaglio, depicting the base of a tree within a shield, with the word “FIDELLIS” engraved above—Latin for “faithful,” perfectly complementing the greyhound motif and reinforcing themes of devotion and allegiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carving remains crisp and well defined, standing out beautifully against the warm tones of the carnelian, while the gold mount enhances the overall richness of the piece. A highly unusual and characterful example of Victorian craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of seals and animal-themed jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, c.1880\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnmarked, tests as 9ct gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight 32mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBase 23mm x 17mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n13.6 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56832313000316,"sku":"CN1041","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/il_fullxfull.7919576494_3hpy.jpg?v=1780415662","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-9ct-gold-greyhound-intaglio-faithful-crest-carnelian-seal-cn1041","provider":"thenorthc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
