Draagteken van Johann Peter Eckert 1753 - 1801

This small, silver, engraved, oval-shaped locket, created by an anonymous artist in the late 18th century, is a beautiful example of a personal piece of art. The inscription "Johann Peter Eckert" and "1753-1801" on the front and back respectively, suggest this locket was a keepsake commemorating Johann Peter Eckert’s life. The delicate, ornamented frame adds a touch of elegance to this simple yet touching piece of personal art, known as a locket.
