ON AUCTION IS A VINTAGE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL DOUBLE HEADED EAGLE BROOCH. IT HAS THE REMNANTS OF A FAINT 800 ON BACK ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MADE OF 800 SILVER.
The Imperial Russian double-headed eagle, a symbol of supreme authority and unity, was adopted by Ivan III in the late 15th century to signify Russia as the successor to the Byzantine Empire. It represents the nation's Eurasian spanning, looking both East and West. The emblem features a crowned eagle with spread wings, often clutching a scepter and orb.
The double-headed eagle originated in the Ancient Near East (Hittites) and was used by the Byzantine Palaiologina dynasty. The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire centred on Constantinople (now Istanbul Turkey) during late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Ivan III married Sophia Palaiologina, niece of the last Byzantine emperor, in 1472, adopting the symbol to claim the Byzantine heritage. It represents the unity of the Russian state, the combination of European and Asian parts, and the authority of the Tsar.
