Curators' Favourite

This brooch is made of an old penny piece.  It was made by a mechanic at RAF Lossiemouth to give as a gift to his favourite young lady.  Katey, our Assistant Curator (Learning and Access), chose this object because she likes the idea of making something very romantic out of such an ordinary thing.  She likes the creativity that led to the idea of making it and the thought of someone working in his precious spare time to make a special present for somebody.
