Art Nouveau Style Enamel Brooch with Female Profile and Floral/Avian Motifs

This is a striking enamel brooch, characterized by a stylized profile of a female head, richly adorned with floral and avian elements. The brooch primarily features a vibrant yellow enamel base, outlined by fine gold-toned metal detailing that creates sections for the various enamel colors. The female profile faces left, with delicate facial features rendered in the same gold-toned outline. Her hair and headdress are elaborately decorated with a complex array of flowers and leaves, highlighted with white, dark red, and dark blue enamel accents. Notable features include a prominent white flower at the top, smaller white flowers around the back of the head, and a distinctive white dove or bird figure positioned at the base of her neck. An elegant earring, also gold-toned, dangles from her ear. Below her chin, a band of dark blue enamel with circular patterns adds another visual accent. The style strongly suggests an Art Nouveau or potentially Art Deco influence, given its curvilinear lines, naturalistic motifs, and the depiction of a graceful female form. The overall condition appears good, with minor surface wear visible as faint scratches or scuffs on the yellow enamel, particularly around the cheek and forehead areas. There are no major chips or cracks discernible in the enamel, and the metal outlines seem intact, showing a consistent finish. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precise enamel application within the metal cloisons (partitions), indicating a cloisonné or champlevé technique. Without a view of the reverse, specific manufacturing marks or a pin mechanism cannot be determined, but the aesthetic points to a decorative piece of personal adornment likely from the mid-20th century or a revival of earlier styles.
