Vintage Inuit "Eskimo" face brooch
Circa 1940s
I've seen these types of brooches advertised as either Bakelite or ceramic, and I'm not sure which this is as the front is heavily painted and the back is mostly covered. It's possibly an Elzac of Hollywood? I've only ever found 2 more of these exact pins online and both were listed as ceramic Elzac with real fur trim, c. 1940-1947. It's lightweight and feels more like Bakelite to me, but I can't verify so I've priced this accordingly - well below most comparables.
The face itself measures approx 1.5" x 1.5"
With the fur the brooch as a whole measures just over 3 x 3"
In good condition all around. Some very minor chips to the color. The fur sheds a little bit as you handle it but is mostly intact with no obvious pieces missing. No significant chips, no cracks, no other damage. The back is an old safety pin which is likely not the original pin, but works well.
A beautiful little collectible piece!
