Full Body Sea Lion

I rarely come across this full-body sea lion brooch in circulation, making it a notably scarce find. The gold-tone brass is photo-etched with a fine grain that mimics the look of slick, damp fur. In this profile stance, the animal is hauled out and resting its weight on the large, muscular foreflippers that distinguish it from true seals.
