Hummingbirds are always a delightful sight!

This sterling silver brooch depicts a figural hummingbird drinking from an open trumpet flower on a twisting vine that wraps around a "reflective pool" of natural abalone.  The pendant shows great detail and measures approximately 2.75" x 1 7/8".  The closure is a pin and locking "C" clasp. This brooch could easily be worn on a jacket, hat, or wrap.  It is believed to be circa 1940’s.  Admin: 33119/23lg
