MMA Metropolitan Museum of Art Gold Persian Lion Brooch Pendant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has collaborated with designers since the mid-20th century to create jewelry inspired by its vast art collection. These pieces are often crafted in limited quantities, blending artistic themes from museum exhibits, such as classical art, sculptures, or decorative patterns, with contemporary craftsmanship. This MMA lion brooch, which doubles as a pendant, dates back to the 1990s.

Dimensions: height 2 1/4 x length 1 1/5 inches

Please note that all items at Georgie’s NYC are one of a kind vintage and antique finds. Each piece carries its own history and character, which may appear as patina, gentle wear, or life marks, all part of its story. We take great care to offer pieces that are exceptionally beautiful and well preserved for their age.

Every item is thoughtfully researched and carefully sourced, with time spent uncovering its origins and history. We love following each piece’s journey and sharing the personal and historical narrative it carries forward.
