Pelican in Arched Frame
Wild Bryde wading-bird pin and earrings, in gold-plated and sterling silver, with classic Africa-line hallmarks of planishing, anatomical detail and symmetrical framing. Species tentative. Collectible etched-brass jewelry.
The pelican’s distinctive bill and pouch show up clearly within the gently curved arch, framing the bird as both a natural subject and a design element. The fine photo-etched lines suggest the texture of feathers and the subtle contours of the head, while the gold-tone brass adds warmth that suits a seabird often seen against sunlit skies. This piece captures the pelican’s unmistakable profile with a quiet elegance.
