Figure Amid The Ruins, Apt for 2025 1988 Brass Brooch name tags And found insideI am always interested in the conversation between vintage antique objects and the present moment, and what is happening in the larger world always informs what I buy because it shapes what feels resonant hence this 1988 brooch, which, with shadowy figure standing amid the ruins, feels to me completely apt for the moment. Also very 1980s post mod. 2 1 16 w x 1 13 16 t and in excellent condition. Marked JJ 1988 on reverse.
