Gold Tone Metal
0.08 lbs (approx. 36g)
Dated 1977
This striking modernist piece by renowned artist Jean David functions as both a brooch and a pendant. Produced in 1977, the design reflects a bold brutalist aesthetic, featuring a high-relief textured surface with concentric spirals and radiating linear patterns. The gold-tone finish provides a warm luster that complements the organic, cast appearance of the metalwork, characteristic of David's mid-century and retro artistic style.
• Dual-function design featuring both a pin back and a bail for chain suspension
• Signature "Jean David" and "1977" date deeply engraved on the reverse
• Heavily textured modernist/brutalist composition with distinct spiral motifs
• Measures approximately 2.25 inches in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina. The gold-tone finish remains bright with minor surface tarnish and light wear consistent with a 1970s piece. The pin mechanism is fully functional with a secure roll-over clasp, and the integrated pendant bail is intact and secure. No structural damage or significant metal loss observed.
