Vintage figural turtle brooch in gold tone metal, set with a large domed oval cabochon in brown/amber tones with a chatoyant tiger's eye look.

The reverse shows an open-back setting, a pin stem and a rolling C-style safety clasp. Measured against the ruler in the photos, it is approximately 1.4 in long from nose to tail and about 1.1 in across the legs, so a small to mid-size lapel or scarf pin. No maker's mark is visible in any of the photos, and none could be read. The style and quality of casting are consistent with better mid-century costume makers, but this is offered as unsigned unless the buyer finds otherwise. Condition is pre-owned.
