A Pair of Vintage Scottish Miracle Grouse Foot Talisman Brooches
Description
A pair of vintage Scottish taxidermy grouse foot talisman brooches manufactured by Miracle. Each brooch is fashioned from a real grouse foot with intact plumage and claws. The feet are secured in decorative silver-toned white metal mounts. The first brooch is set with a large, faceted amber-coloured glass stone within a claw setting. The second brooch features a cap with cast thistle-style ornamentation and a smaller orange-toned glass stone set into the base. The items are presented in their original cardboard box, which features a tartan-patterned border and an interior descriptive card titled Talisman Brooch. The card provides historical details regarding the traditional Celtic origins of these charms. The box is clearly marked with the manufacturer name MIRACLE and REGD TRADE MARK.
