This striking vintage ceramic brooch features a beautifully hand-painted portrait of a woman in traditional ethnic dress. Her appearance suggests either Middle Eastern or Eastern European heritage, captured with vivid detail and rich color on a smooth ceramic surface. Measuring approximately 2" in length by 1 3/16" in width, this unique piece is both elegant and eye-catching. The reverse side bears a simple mark— the letter Z enclosed in a circle—which may be the signature of the original artist. In excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or visible wear, this brooch would make a distinctive addition to any jewelry collection or a thoughtful gift for a lover of folk art or ethnic style.
