Vintage Zealandia Style 925 Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl Tribal Man Brooch

Up for sale is a beautiful and highly artistic vintage pin brooch featuring a stylized "Tribal Man / Dancing Figure," crafted in the distinct and unmistakable style of Zealandia Designs. 

The body is hand-carved from a single piece of premium natural Mother of Pearl (MOP) shell, displaying a magnificent pearlescent iridescence with warm golden and pink undertones. A striking geometric metal overlay with abstract symbols is meticulously attached to the shell using a classic hand-made rivet construction. 

The pin back is stamped with "925" indicating its Sterling Silver purity, though there is no explicit maker's mark. This makes it a perfect acquisition for collectors of Southwestern, Native American inspired, or artisan mixed-media jewelry. It adds an instant eclectic, bohemian charm to any coat, lapel, scarf, or hat. 

Great vintage condition with amazing natural luster. As an authentic vintage item made from organic materials, it features beautiful natural shell variations and a warm vintage patina/tarnish on the reverse silver elements, giving the piece wonderful historical depth. The rolling safety C-clasp pin mechanism is completely intact, secure, and functions perfectly. No cracks or chips to the shell.
