[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 455531, member: 8184"]Oh whoops, I'm afraid it must be confusing photos doing the damage. I'm 75% sure it's a glass intaglio that's been reverse painted... That number keeps going down as I continue to write this message, lol. Well, I'm 100% sure the design is on the back of/under glass. And 100% sure the back of the pin is a corroded piece of metal. I'll see about getting some better shots of it after the sun comes up, but the little bugger is tough to photograph. As to where it came from, when I said I had it 25+ years, that was a typo, it should have said 35+ years. And the answer is "some antique shop, probably in Florida or north Carolina" (I wasn't a thrifter at that time.) But I remember wearing it in grad school and that was 1981-1984. I've always thought the building-like things were meant to depict something Greek or Roman, but I strongly prefer Stonehenge. :hilarious:[/QUOTE]
