Achilles Brooch

Description

Achilles brooch with two salamanders motif

The Achilles Brooch depicts two elongated salamanders, each with a curved body and legs extended to the sides. The main image places both figures on a circular beige base, allowing their full silhouettes to be seen and their colors to be compared. One salamander stands out in turquoise blue and the other in purplish pink; small, light, and shimmering details cover their bodies and legs. The outline and some interior lines are gold, which separates the drawing from the background and accentuates the figures' forms.

Color, shape and visual relief

The two salamanders are positioned diagonally and facing in opposite directions. Their curved tails complete the composition, and their limbs spread out in various directions, so the design occupies more space horizontally than a straight figure. The bright spots follow the line of the back and legs; the surface appears faceted in the photograph, but the description does not identify the material of these details. It describes what is visible in the image, without attributing any stones, crystals, or a specific metallic composition.

Measurements and weight recorded

The specifications indicate 13g and dimensions of 1 cm deep, 3 cm wide, and 6.5 cm high. The height refers to the length of the salamanders' legs and tails, while the width corresponds to their bodies and legs. Consider the weight when choosing a flap or bag and ensure the fabric can support the closure. The photographs show the figures from the front; no technical description of the mechanism or the material on the back is provided.

Two chromatic finishes in the images

The photographs show the turquoise blue and pinkish-purple versions. The product description doesn't clearly identify a selectable variant, so it's best not to assume you can choose the color from the website. If you're looking for one of those two specific combinations, confirm which one corresponds to the item before ordering. The common feature is the pair of curved salamanders with gold details and sparkling dots. You can compare other designs in the category of brooches, pins and badges.
