Ask a question

This wonderful, dynamic anthromorphic brooch is something of a mystery. It's overall well made, but the stones are roughly shaped and the setting are not perfectly molded around them (and this seems to be deliberate, not damage of any kind). It's also unsigned/unmarked and we don't understand the glued on brooch back.

We think it may be an old repair, rather than how this was made/sold, but we're not completely sure. It's also possible that there are marks of some kind under that mess of glue.

Stones seem to be agate, at least some of the metal might be silver (or alpaca, etc) although some is definitely not. It is a large and wonderful Brutalist piece though, almost certainly artist made. b15
