Striking and charming, copper brooch by world-renowned, South African jewelry artist, Joe Calafato. Rich with vivid imagery, Calafato’s timeless, African iconography and aesthetic appreciation of the romance of culturally traditional African life is again present in this beautiful, copper brooch. Calafato is known for his designs that have an endearing quality of compositions of African village life and this brooch is a wonderful example of his great work.

The copper brooch is a masterfully designed depiction of three African children gathered around the cooking pot, two of whom are sampling the delectable meal. The brooch is polished to a very shiny copper and is hallmarked, not with one of Calafato’s more well-known maker’s marks, but is instead, hallmarked with his signature all-caps, arial font, COPPER. This brooch has an endearing and enduring sentiment for one with a discerning eye for African beauty and art.
