Absolutely stunning, sterling silver with black overlay brooch by jewelry designer, Birger Haglund depicts an African woman with equally stunning braided cornrows! This timeless and show stopping brooch encompasses the beauty and grace contained in the profile of an African woman wearing her natural crown in all its glory. Her hair is meticulously parted and delicately fashioned on her regal head in the quintessential, natural hairstyle, with each gorgeous braid etched by hand. She is an African queen with an iconic, natural hairstyle, and is a perfect and on-point representative of the natural hair movement. This representation is deliberate and demonstrative in the lucid, visual artistry. Artist and jewelry designer, Birger Haglund lived in South Africa from 1948 to 1952 and one can tell from his loving design that this piece is an illustration of how much he was enamored by the rich beauty and culture of the Mother continent.

The sterling silver on the underside of the brooch has a very rich and natural patina which is undetectable when worn and the black on the front has a few signs of wear and aging -- including some light scratching -- which are undetectable to the casual observer. This rare and beautiful brooch is a bold and very attractive conversation starter and is designed to be worn with pride!
