I have a unique brooch with no idea whether it's Asian or American. Can someone help?

Can I see a picture of the back?

Might be an old piece out of China I am no expert but I had a pin that looked something like yours. Not the same shape but the construction, stones, etc. Is there a thread for Asian or Chinese stuff?

Google Chinese Foo Dog coral pin and there are quite a few similar things that pop up on the images page Maybe they can steer you in the right direction Let me know what you find! I'm always interested in learning

Thank you so much for the help. I had never run across a piece like this before. Again, thank you so much!
