I believe this brooch is pewter. It is Native American inspired and it has antiqued silver tone coloring. There is abalone inlay within its detailed design. It measures 2.75 inches long. It is signed "Duri" on the back. As for a date, I purchased the brooch at an estate sale so I have no personal knowledge of its age. If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably from the 1960s to 1970s.
As for what the design actually is, I've always thought it depicted an Eagle or Seahawk head (making it perfect for a Seattle Seahawks fan). But I showed it to a few friends to get their opinion and two of them agreed with me about the hawk's head, and the other two friends said it is a feather, probably from an eagle or other large bird. So, it can be either one, depending on what you want it to be.
Buyer to pay USPS Insured First Class Mail parcel delivery charges of $6.95. Shipping is from Nevada.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
