Handmade vintage combination brooch pin and necklace pendant combination piece:

~ Artsy condor or similar bird in flight full of life, character, and movement
~ Turquoise or aqua blue enameled eye
~ Full of exotic ethnic historic designs and symbolic meaning

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
