Signed 900 Silver Peru Pin Man Plays Flute Serpent Idol
Incredibly detailed heavy Pin Brooch depicting a Peruvian Native South American Indian in folk costume wearing a large flat hat and playing a flute while sitting on steps. In the background a Large Urn and around the frame holding this 'picture', are four serpents. Undoubtedly a lost wax method of creating this piece that weighs 1.1 Ounce of 900 silver, reminding one of the detail often found in Victorian Picture Buttons. Several Marks: Peru, 900 something Peruviana and 2 scrolled R's inside a 'pinafore' mark. Very interesting!
