Elegant mid-century gilt cast-metal brooch, signed “ALVAR – E.A. 5/65” attributed to Alvar Suñol Muñoz-Ramos (b. 1935), noted Catalan surrealist painter and sculptor.

This sculptural design depicts a woman’s face and outstretched arm reaching toward a dove, symbolizing peace and spiritual harmony—a recurring theme in Alvar’s 1960s artwork. The piece is finely cast in a luminous gold-tone finish over a solid alloy base, giving it the appearance of gilt bronze while maintaining a comfortable wear weight.
