Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous sterling silver brooch by world-famous, South African jewelry designer, Joe Calafato. His timeless, African iconography and aesthetic appreciation of African expressions of nurturance, protection, and culturally traditional, African female beauty is ever-present in this stunning brooch. Calafato is known for his everlasting designs that have an endearing quality of compositions of African life. The round brooch is a masterfully designed depiction of an African mother wearing a traditional headdress, beads, and adornments, nursing her lovingly cradled, infant child. The brooch is coated with a very rich, undisturbed, velvety, natural patina and is hallmarked. This brooch has an endearing and enduring sentiment for one with a discerning eye for African beauty and art.
