Anti Slavery double-sided fob circa 1830, the first side intaglio cut with kneeling man and reading 'Am I Not a Man and a Brother'. The reverse intaglio with a kneeling woman reading 'Am I Not a Woman and a Sister' fitted into gilt bronze mounts, mid 19th century, contained within a wood snuff box.
The legend ‘Am I not a woman...’ was adapted after 1825 by US abolitionists, this suggests the date of the piece is around 1830-50.
