What a grand brooch, kyratango, love the size, the details, the patina, everything!
Katherine, thank you! Though difficult to wear due to the huge size, it is a conversation display piece!
Another, smaller!

D'où le lapsus :-)
Va falloir chercher dans les stands... rien trouvé à part la station de métro Volontaires, mais vue sur Vaugirard!
