I've got a strange one for the jewelry people today. I know this was a popular hobby for women back in the day, but this one just feels.... Intentional, like it was MANUFACTURED instead of made. The thing I MASSIVE, the photos don't do justice.
Carved wood, sterling silver ingots, and Lucite horns. Its 3.25" from horn to horn, and 3.5" tall. Anyone have a clue?

Where on EARTH did you find that? It's beautiful!
It's Elzac! And A SUPERB piece!
LOVE it - it's a Gnu, I think. Maybe Wildebeest. I'm going with Gnu. They made a lot of African and tribal themed wood & lucite jewelry.

That would be my guess, anyway! Here's a gazelle.

Yeah - you can totally call yours an elzac. Here is a woman with the same silver studs.

Ahhhh!!! Yes!!! That's it!! I've had tons of this stuff over the years but never knew wha it was! Thank you guys!!
Fantastic brooch Stillwater..... love it to bits.
Great solve too Celiene.
Valentino - is it this one (link)? I guess the OPs could be a steer. What do you think? The hair on the neck - do Longhorns have hair down their necks? Looking at pics, they have a wattle. On the brooch - I was looking at the forehead. I thought it was like a horny growth. Longhorns don't have that but many have a colored triangle. WOW - looking at pictures of the longhorn - some are stunningly beautifuL!

When I first looked at it thought for sure it was a Texas longhorn steer. :)
