Vintage sterling silver brooch with a heart and five pointed crown.  With stamp work around the outside.  Marked sterling with the makers mark of two diamonds with crosses in each.  This brooch is in great condition with the old style pin.  It is 1 &7/8″ high and 2.5″ wide.

We bought it in Haudenosaunee/Iroquois territory.  According to H. M. Converse, author of The Iroquois Silver Brooches, published in 1900, the heart and crown was a common Iroquois/Haudenosaunee pattern.  This pattern is also used in Scottish and Irish traditions.
