The seller of this piece has 100% positive feedback and and describes it as follows:

This is a beautiful copper three-dimensional shadow box of a piece by Ana Maria Nunez de Brilante, aka Victoria. It was made to be a pin/pendant, but the latch is broken somehow, and the pin won’t come loose. I presume this is an easy fix, but I’m afraid to mess with it! In any event, it looks fantastic as a pendant. It is large – imposing! – and measures 2.25″ x 2.75″ and, as it is made in two pieces – a flat back and curved cut-out front, it has a lot of depth to it. The rest of the pin is in beautiful vintage condition. It is hallmarked “Victoria Mexico Taxco Copper 125.”
