The reverse of the Phoenix Jewel, c1570-c1580. It is decorated with a phoenix in flames under the royal monogram (ER), a crown and heavenly rays, enclosed within an enamelled wreath of red and white roses. On the front of this gold pendant is a silhouette bust of Queen Elizabeth I. The phoenix rising from the flames is a well known symbol of renewal, while the entwined red and white roses symbolize the consolidation of England under Tudor rule. For obverse see ART372711.
