Vintage Large Floral Faux Pearl Brass Shield Brooch Pin

Beautifully detailed brooch depicting an intricate stylized floral arrangement around a faux pearl. I cannot tell exactly what kind of metal it is. I originally thought it was silver but when I gave it a light polish, the metal appears to be brass. I cannot guarantee this and the brooch is priced accordingly. This classic piece definitely makes a statement when worn and a must for any serious collector of fine costume jewelry. Some patina on it but it can be polished more if that it your style. Measures whopping 2.5" in diameter.
