Vintage Gold-Plated Standing Bull Moose Earrings

A wonderfully lively pair of bull moose comes bounding through these unusual vintage statement earrings. Each dimensional gold-plated moose is captured mid-stride with long legs, a distinctive muzzle, and beautifully textured palmate antlers. The two animals are mirror images, facing toward one another when displayed. The moose swing freely beneath polished ball-shaped tops fitted with surgical-steel posts. They came from the same auction lot acquired from a taxidermist who closed his business during the 1990s and are unworn old store stock.
