Why it's worth it
Gold howdah, cast chain, and a trunk in full relief — one brooch, whole procession.
The Edit
Bronze-core construction with a mirror-polished 24K gold plate, this brooch reads more sculptural object than accessory — the howdah is secured with cast chain detailing and the trunk curves in anatomically considered relief. Pin fastening sits flush on the reverse. The scale is substantial enough to anchor a lapel or collar without a second piece.
Insider Tip
Pin it to a thick wool lapel — the bronze weight needs fabric with some body to sit flat.
