Unlike a molded or printed floral brooch, the appeal here is in the individual brushwork. Layered strokes give the petals and leaves dimension against the glossy black background, while the tiny gold flourishes frame the composition beautifully. Its combination of Russian lacquer tradition, hand-painted artistry and an artisan signature makes it an appealing piece for collectors of folk art as well as distinctive vintage jewelry.
