Beautiful artistic creation and interpretation of a poodle dog, emphasizing the remarkable distinguishable features of a poodle, from its fluffy mane to its long limbs.  It features a yellow gold poodle, with stunning detail down to its eyes, fur, and collar, and fluffy electrifying hair on its head and tail. It is a retro 1960's art with sky blue turquoise accents. 
This wasn't some thrown-together pin, but hours of setting, finishing, polishing, and undoubtedly proudly worn when first commissioned and respected by veterans among us. A lovely piece. 
Back of the brooch: Italian maker mark and British import hallmarked Birmingham 18 carat gold, 1966, sponsor mark "RHD".
