Description
This finely crafted lapel pin reflects the tiered form of the Corona—the bronze crown of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. The design draws from traditional Yoruba columns and honors the craftsmanship of African American metalworkers in the South. Cast in pewter and plated in matte gold, it captures an architectural silhouette that has become a Washington, D.C. landmark.
