    Description

    5.75 inches high, 4.5 inches wide. Extremely rare. This dates to before 1887 because after that she was banned from the family. Her bio: Rachel Sassoon (7 April 1858 – 29 April 1927), was born in Bombay to Sassoon David Sassoon, of the Iraqi Sassoon family, one of the wealthiest families of the 19th century; her father was known as the "Rothschild of the East". As a young woman, she volunteered as a nurse in a hospital. In 1887, she married the wealthy financier Frederick Arthur Beer, son of Julius Beer (1836–1880), and converted to Christianity. Frederick, an Anglican Christian, was also from a family of converts. In the wake of her conversion, the Sassoon family disowned her.
    Anything Sassoon related is white-hot right now, due to the incredible results of the Sassoon sale at Sotheby's. Seen in the last photo is a book that was written about her life.
