This is an early brooch by Minä Perhonen that I cherished so much I never used it and kept it in storage. The numerous patterns engraved on the bird's body are truly wonderful. I believe there are no noticeable scratches. The pin is also straight and not bent. This is my subjective assessment, so there may be oversights. As this is an old item, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect 100. I think it would be cutest worn on a collar.
