A charming vintage brooch in 18KT gold modelled as a stylised mouse, shown standing upright and holding a book. The body is formed from a polished lapis lazuli cabochon, accented with small ruby-set details to the torso and eye. The figure is finely cast with playful detailing, including curled tail, rounded ears, and articulated pose, giving it strong character. The combination of coloured stone and whimsical animal design is typical of mid-20th century novelty jewellery. A well-made and unusual piece with good presence.
