We create a special one-of-a-kind pin for the Yuma Symposium Auction each year. A museum commission two years ago got us rolling on tagua nuts and combining elements of Polynesian carving and tattoo. This example also incorporates an organic element that seems to creep into a lot f our work. The tagua nut is mounted on a sturdy brass backing plate with custom pin clasp. It can also be worn as a pendant. Signed on the back.
Tagua nut, brass, ebony, stainless steel
1.75 in H x 1.25 in W

Thank you Lorena. John does most of the photography for us. We have to make several more so we can photograph the backs for you. The first batch sold so fast we didn't have time to take pictures of them all, let alone the backs.
