Vintage Riveiro Signed Pin Brooch Animal Llama Alpaca Horse Modernist Enamel

A unique modernist brooch or pin with a ton of personality. I’m not actually sure what animal it depicts—a llama, horse, alpaca, or even a tapir? But he’s adorable. Gold tone bronze metal with a dark red enamel eye. Stamped Riveiro. Made by designer Elisabeth Riveiro, French, circa 1980s. Excellent vintage condition, light signs of wear on the back. Pin functions properly.

Elisabeth Riveiro’s jewellery combines geometric, zoomorphic, and symbolic motifs in pieces that blend ancient and contemporary styles. Crafted in France using age-old techniques like lost wax casting, hammering, and high-fire enamel, each piece draws on traditions handed down by her father, Ernesto Riveiro. With over 600 models, this collection offers a rich bestiary and talismanic designs that embody timeless artistry and inspire wonder.
