Found this at the thrift today also. Not quite sure what it is supposed to be, a dragon maybe?? It is not marked but is a pretty cool piece. Thanks for looking

Very pretty and unusual brooch, it is quite artistic! A dragon is a good guess, maybe the maker deliberately wanted to make it non specific so you could see whatever you like in it - for example I see a greyhound dog with the arched body in the middle
Very nice! My best guess, it's a museum reproduction portraying one of the icons of ancient mesoamerica - jaguar or rabbit? Take a look on line.....I know I've seen the figure before but can't pull it up in short order. Have fun!
Jenni, yes, I think it’s body looks like a greyhound. Thanks for looking
Eileen, the colors are nice, glad you like.
Finders, thanks so much for the tip :)
It looks very like a Celtic depiction of a dog or lion commonly seen in Celtic manuscripts,
Lauren, I just saw a similar one that was Celtic. Thanks for the info
