A brooch crafted in polished silver and designed in the stylized form of a serpent; the body of the snake curves fluidly across the surface, with the head at one end and the tail looping into a decorative flourish at the opposite side; the smooth metal surface emphasizes the flowing lines and sculptural quality of the design, while the pin and clasp mechanism are mounted along the reverse to allow the piece to be worn securely; the minimalist interpretation of the serpent motif gives the brooch a modern aesthetic while referencing a long-standing symbolic theme in jewelry design.
