The item is a vintage brooch depicting a stylized cat, likely made of sterling silver, with a brass tie. The cat is cut out in profile, facing right, with a smooth, matte finish on the silver. A thin brass piece is attached at the neck, shaped like a tie, adding a contrasting metallic accent. The brooch has a simple pin and clasp mechanism on the back for fastening. It measures approximately 2-3 inches in length and exhibits a handmade or artisan quality, possibly originating from Mexico, as suggested by similar listings. The brooch's design is minimalist yet expressive, capturing the essence of a cat in a formal or whimsical attire.
