This is a very detailed dragon carved by James E. Boyle. It was hand cast in fine pewter and all the findings were hand soldered. The artist signed this brooch. The pin has a hinged pin and safety clasp. The animal called a dragon is like a winged crocodile with a serpent's tail; whence the words serpent and dragon are sometimes interchangeable. From the meaning a watcher we get the notion of one that watches; and from the meaning “to flash,” we connect the word with meteors. Swift, swift, ye dragons of the night: —that dawning May bare the raven's eye. The Greek word drakon comes from a verb meaning, “to see,” to “look at,” and more remotely “to watch” and “to flash.” This dragon would love to flash for you and bring you luck.
