The composition is rendered in low relief with stylized anatomy and linear carving, intentionally referencing archaic and classical motifs rather than later naturalistic traditions. The softly irregular surface and textured edge reinforce its archaeological character and handcrafted quality.
Produced in Greece in the mid–late 20th century, this brooch reflects the long-standing tradition of archaeological revival jewelry, created as a modern interpretation of ancient sources. Substantial yet restrained, it wears beautifully pinned to a tailored jacket or coat lapel.
Measures approximately 1.5 x 1 inch and weighs 11.44 grams. Finished with a traditional pin-back clasp.
A timeless and thoughtful piece for collectors of classical-inspired gold jewelry.
