This brooch is modeled after a dachshund. It's made of cowhide and is made in Japan. It's carefully and meticulously crafted. This is a one-of-a-kind brooch. I purchased it several years ago from a store that sells cowhide products. It has been carefully stored in a dark place since purchase. I'm selling it to organize my collection, which has grown. Product Name: Dachshund Motif Brooch, Cowhide, Made in Japan Material: Cowhide Overall Length: Approximately 6 cm Head Width: Approximately 1.6 cm Body Width: Approximately 5 mm Tail Width: Approximately 1.4 cm Notes: There are traces of adhesive from the manufacturing process on the metal fittings from the time of purchase. There is some dullness on the metal fittings. (See image 13) It will be shipped via either Yu-Pack Mercari or Rakuraku Mercari. I also have leather keychains, leather accessories, and other dachshund-themed items for sale. Please take a look if you're interested.
