A one-of-a-kind statement brooch from Vaune Mason who is known for her delicately carved animal pieces.
The rabbit is hand-carved and polished NZ Beef Bone, mounted on a sterling silver backplate. The brooch is slightly curved, following the natural form of the bone.
The brooch measures 40mm long and 30mm wide. The pin is 0.9mm sprung stainless steel.
Vaune Mason is based on the Kāpiti coast. Her detailed carved animals are most often reproduced in glowing bronze and silver, and every now and then, in recycled native timbers, stone or bone. Vaune also loves to make beautiful be-jewelled pieces that look worthy of a treasure hunters' hoard. Her inspiration comes from the things that surround her in nature. Her style is strong, archaic and feminine.
