Vintage Damascene African Woman with Curls Brooch

ayquebella.com

Beautiful profile of an African woman in all her glory presented on a vintage Spanish Damascene brooch. The black and gold-tone metal brooch follows in the Damascene traditions of ancient times and is fashioned with a very intricate, inlaid design, resembling the rich tapestry of a fine, damask silk. The lovely African woman is a beauty to behold. She remains front and center of the round brooch with a crown of curls and coils on her head. The brooch is shiny with a light, natural patina and shows a light amount of wear and aging on the underside, which is consistent with its age and is completely undetectable while wearing it. The elaborate detailing on the brooch celebrates the artisanal and traditional handiwork of the artist or artists and is a must-have for any collector of African jewel pieces or Damascene.
