Research tells me this brooch is shaped like an eggbutt snaffle. I am not making this up, that is really what it is called, the eggbutt snaffle is a type of horse's bit used in the English riding discipline. The eggbutt snaffle bit fits into the horse's mouth and the bridle attaches to the rings. My sources suggest this is the more comfortable type of bit; for the horse, that is. Beautifully crafted in 14k yellow gold, this is a gorgeous piece for an equestrian. Circa 1950.
My horsey colleague has confirmed that all of the above is accurate.
Details.....The brooch measures 2" by 0.43". In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on your vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of their charm.
