Vintage Carved Mother of Pearl Brooch Pin - Filipino Folk Art from Philippines

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.
