Antique Angel Skin Coral Carved Chinese Confucius Figural Pinback Brooch

A striking antique Chinese brooch centered on a hand-carved angel skin coral figure of Confucius. The soft pink-salmon coral has been finely worked to show the sage's serene expression, robes, and long flowing beard — the kind of detail that only comes from skilled hand carving.

The carved coral is mounted to a metal pinback assembly, making it wearable on a lapel, jacket, or scarf, or equally at home displayed as a small work of art. Condition is excellent, with the warm patina you would expect from a piece of this age.

A wonderful find for collectors of antique coral, Asian decorative arts, or one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry. Questions are always welcome before purchase.
