    This rather stylish brooch is my last buy!
    There was an unexpected bid struggle on it...

    Only 1000+ feedback buyers!

    But it is so neat, I needed to get it for €35 with shipping :-/

    No marks, it is very light and mesure 1" square.

    Any idea why so much dealers wanted it?

      What is it made of? It's so interesting!
    20. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      Hi BelleEpoque! It is made of black laquered/painted stamped steel! So strange :-)
      What is your opinion on Agram's piece era?

    21. BelleEpoque BelleEpoque, 9 years ago
      To be honest both pieces seem nouveau to me... Yours is clearly Egyptian revival... Perhaps a custom mourning piece? In any case, beautiful!
    22. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      Thank you BelleEpoque !
      Thanks Effe for your love :-)
    23. Elisabethan Elisabethan, 4 years ago
      Oh wow!!! I have missed this post. I am crazy about this! So beautiful and different. It's almost something young "Goth" interested people would like to wear. I am sure you would have a difficult task trying to find another one of these. I would hold on to it and never ever let it go! :) Nice find!!!!!!!!!!!
    24. kyratango kyratango, 4 years ago
      Thank you Elisabethan! Very goth indeed! :-))
