Description
Straight from Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1984 painting Pez Dispenser, this crowned dinosaur is both playful and pointed—a childlike sketch wearing a crown of authority. Like much of Basquiat's work, it blurs the line between street style and fine art, layering pop culture with powerful symbolism. This enamel pin, outlined in black nickel, is for collectors, art lovers, and anyone who appreciates Basquiat's irreverent outlook on the world.
