Ornament Item Number: 2827/26 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
A cast bronze ornament in the shape of a finial or pin. At the crest is a flat horizontal platform which supports two deer figures standing back-to-back. The large, multi-pronged antlers of the deer are pronounced, but there are few other distinguishing details included. The shaft has two spherical shapes below the platform, and it tapers to a point at the bottom. The piece is dark brown, with a hint of green.
