Victorian sterling silver mounted tiger claw brooch is the largest example we've seen. That is to say, the claws themselves are enormous measuring 1" across at the widest and about 2" measured diagonally from the corner of the claw to the sterling tip. The silver is beautifully engraved overall and the repousse tiger's face has been dented inwards. Measures about 2 1/4" wide and tall.
