Fierce, Gorgeous, Highly Detailed, Vintage or Antique Sterling Silver Carved Repousse Lion Pin or Brooch.
The brooch measures just under approximately 1 and 5/8 inches or about 41 millimeters, high, by just under about 1 and 1/2 inches, or approximately 38 millimeters, wide, and just over roughly 1/2 of an inch, or about 13 millimeters, deep, not including the pinback. (Included you'll find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Stamped on the back, "925", unsigned. Weight is approximately 18.01 grams.
This pin is in very good vintage condition. It may have the expected light scratches and possibly a few tiny dings to the silver from age and normal wear. Hand polished, but it may need further attention, especially to the back. The locking pin back works as designed, and the pin is pretty straight and sharp.
A beautiful, striking and dramatic, vintage Sterling silver lion's head pin. Fabulous attention to fine detail, a very handsome face and a striking profile. A fine rendition of nature's splendor.
