For the history buff, mythology lover, or someone who appreciates truly unique jewelry, this Lamassu Winged Bull Lapel Pin is a conversation starter. It's a meticulous reproduction inspired by the giant ancient Assyrian statues that guarded the palace of King Sargon II. The pin beautifully captures the mythical creature – a powerful winged bull with a human head, symbolizing protection. It's crafted from high-quality pewter and finished with a rich, antique gold plating that looks aged and elegant, not shiny and new. The pin is about 3/4 inch long and wide, making it a noticeable but tasteful accessory. It features a secure tie tack post with a butterfly clutch closure on the back, so you can wear it on a lapel, scarf, tie, hat, or bag strap. Each pin comes with a descriptive card about its historical inspiration. Made by Museum Reproductions, a leader in historical jewelry for over 50 years, this piece lets you wear a piece of ancient art and history.
