This pin is a reproduction from a cool old horse brooch from the 19th Century. The detail is grand. This spirited horse is cast in fine jeweler's pewter that is 100% lead free. It has a sturdy, hand soldered, bar pin on the back with a safety clasp and is burnished to a warm glow. The pin about 1 and 3/4" wide from the raised leg to the tail. This horse recalls the wonderful engravings and graphics in Victorian Horse books and New England Farm journals. Its not unlike a Morgan or Hackney pony. The tail is short as most horses had banged or docked tails to keep them out of the mud during Victorian times, even Morgans!
