Malachite Brooch [SG-026]

A superb old malachite stone, deeply carved. A giant bird's beak reveals a face within, a shaman high priest, or a warrior? Look more closely at the opposite end, a carved winged creature. Delicate fine silver scroll work throughout the frame by twisted silver. Stamped mark, sterling silver 925. Malachite has many healing properties. From Taxco, Mexico.
