Interesting marked goddess of the sea pin features a nicely detailed casting of a woman in long, flowing dress with an anchor perched on her head and spear in hand. While we're not experts on mythology, we believe this is probably Chinese goddess of the sea Mazu, whose legend ascribes her mystical powers to an event that took place when she was 15. Going with her girlfriends to check out their new dresses in the reflections of a pool, a sea creature erupted out of the water and was holding a bronze disk out, offering it to the girls. Terrified, the others ran away, but the brave Lin Mo calmly accept the bronze. From that moment on, she began to display unusual powers -- powers that grew daily and made her a legendary figure at a young age. This nice handmade silver pin is marked on the back "JFW" and copyright 1991 impressed in the metal, and it measures approximately 2.0" x 0.675" and is in excellent condition.
