A sporting brooch modelled in the form of an animal leg terminating in a cloven hoof, likely representing a deer or stag. The shank features a textured, engraved surface to simulate fur, contrasting with the smooth finish of the hoof. The item is constructed from a white metal, possibly silver. The reverse is fitted with a simple horizontal pin and a C-style clasp. Indistinct struck marks are present on the pin hinge and near the base of the hoof but are not clearly legible.
Length: 6.5 cm.
