This somber yet beautiful brooch is hand-painted (most likely in acrylics) and lacquered. It is done on wood and features a safety pin embedded on the back as its fastener. It is signed "HY 74" on the back, but I was unable to find anything regarding this artist online. This pin resembles the work of Russian fold artists who design similar lacquered brooches (see my post from 5/11), but the subject matter is quite different.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.
