Vintage carved mother of pearl brooch depicting a stylized pagoda or East Asian temple. The design features a dimensional, double-tiered roof with softly upturned eaves and hand-etched window details, all cut from iridescent abalone shell that shifts between warm champagne, blush, and subtle green tones in the light.

Likely mid-century tourist-market work, hand-carved and finished, with a layered construction that gives the piece depth despite its small scale. A distinctive figural brooch that reads architectural and sculptural rather than purely decorative.
