This large angular brooch is made of, I believe, tin with a welded-on brass insert. It has some raised filigree. It was actually "dumped" on me, which is why I call it the orphan. An acquaintance who accumulated lots of random stuff and then regularly got rid of it simply didn't want her brooch any more. Frankly, I didn't either, but she pressed it on me, and it's not like it was a having to take home a puppy... The rectilinear aspect and the welded parts are not my taste in jewelry, but it's also my nature to take in strays and make the best of it.
This brooch is rather hard to wear because of its size, and also because of its lack of cleverness. I have it here at the throat of a front-zipped chenille sweater.
