Unusual signed Coro gold tone
fig leaf pin with scattered inset rhinestones.
The Coro signature is in script.
Very simple and very nice.
Leaves, and the fig leaf inparticular, are/were a popular motif in early costume
jewelry making.
The fig leaf is one of our oldest plants and the most
mentioned plant in the Bible: The most famous is in Genesis 3:7 relating the story of the fall of man & expulsion of Adam
& Eve from the Garden of Eden "........... and they knew they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and
made themselves aprons................... "
Since this famous Biblical reference, fig leaves have been used as covering, as on male sculptures
& paintings, & figuratively, as in the proverb, "The naked truth need no fig leaf."
Nice signed Coro pin in excellent condition.
