Name brooches carved in wood like this one are rarely found with the lettering this crisp.
A mid-century carved wooden brooch spelling out "Winifred" in open script, set on a slender arrow motif — the dark-stained lettering contrasts with the lighter natural wood of the arrowhead ends. A bar pin closure runs the full length of the back.
The name is cut through completely, giving the lettering an airy, shadow-casting quality when worn.
A piece like this works pinned to a knit cardigan, a wool coat lapel, or a lightweight linen jacket. The scale is long and narrow — 7 cm — so it reads as a bar pin at a distance before the lettering becomes visible up close.
