This is a beautiful, Thomson’s gazelle brooch purchased at a jeweler in Edinburgh when I lived in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is marked “silver” and “Scotland” on the reverse. It is 3” from snout to back hoof. It’s simple and elegant. The Thomson’s gazelle is named after the Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson (1858 – 1895) who played an important role in several African expeditions sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society.
