Beautiful pewter brooch of a fox with grapes and leaves. Signed Pewter Canada. This is a vintage design that is likely inspired by the fable of "The Fox and the Grapes". In the fable, the fox is unable to reach a bunch of ripe grapes, and dismisses them as sour to save face and rationalize its failure. The lesson being that people often devalue or scorn something they cannot have, a concept known as "sour grapes". Dimensions: Approimately 2.5 x 2 inches. Pickup category timeslot {A}
