Victorian Stag & M Brooch - 1880s
The hairstyle and jewelry of this young woman belie her serious expression. The curved fringe of bangs add a note of whimsy, and her unusual brooch presents the viewer with a mystery. It is a stylized letter M, with a leaping stag affixed to its front, very whimsical and exuberant in appearance. Wide hoop earrings in her pierced ears complete the costume.
