Two lapel pins cast from white metal with a dark patinated finish, depicting British wildlife subjects. The first pin is modelled as a leaping hare, featuring high-relief fur texture and an arched, energetic form. The reverse is fitted with two clutch-back pin fasteners and bears an embossed mark reading A. R. Paget. The second pin depicts a game bird in profile, likely a partridge? or grouse?, with detailed plumage and a feathered tail. The reverse of the bird pin is also fitted with two clutch-back fasteners, one of which is a contrasting gilt metal effect, and bears the embossed maker’s name A. R. Paget. Both pieces exhibit an antiqued finish that highlights the cast details through darkened recesses.
