N/A
75.00 $
Description
This stunning hand-carved vintage brooch is a beautiful example of Filipino craftsmanship. It depicts a detailed tropical scene featuring a traditional Nipa Hut (Bahay Kubo), a swaying palm tree, and a female figure carrying a harvest basket—a classic Maglalako motif representing village life. The genuine Mother of Pearl has a magnificent, high-luster iridescence. In the light, it shifts from a bright creamy white to glowing shades of silver and pale green. The intricate open-work (pierced) carving is delicate yet well-preserved, making this a unique find for collectors of global folk art or vintage shell jewelry. Features Artisanship: Intricate hand-carved and pierced shell. Luster: Natural nacre with a beautiful rainbow glow. Closure: Secure vintage pin back with safety clasp. Dimensions: Approx. 1.5 wide x 2 tall. Weight: Lightweight and comfortable for styling on blazers, cardigans, or scarves. Note: I am not an expert in vintage jewelry; this piece belonged to my grandmother and the description is based on my best observation and research.
