Antique Victorian Brass Ruby Leo Lion Brooch Pin

This is a charming genuine art nouveau Victorian sash pin purchased from Victoriana, a respected jeweller in Denver, about 20 years ago. The pin has been in storage and has not been cleaned in that time but I think would polish up nicely. He has little ruby or ruby glass eyes and a wonderful face which reminds me of Vincent from the 1980s tv series of Beauty and the Beast. The pin back has been replaced at some point, before I purchased it. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
