This brooch is a tribute to the Library of Congress’s mission of collecting & sharing the wisdom of all civilizations. The pin is 2 inches long & 2 inches wide. We use a high-quality antique gold plating that has been lacquered for a long-lasting finish. We will ship this in a jewelry box. This design is inspired by an architectural detail on the second floor, west side, of the Great Hall. The border encircles an imbricated laurel wreath. The open book & torches of learning are a recurring motif in the elaborately decorated Jefferson Building & symbolize the importance of learning in a knowledge-based democracy.
