This is a James Avery sterling silver Ichthus tie pin. This vintage tie pin has a heavy tetured finish that looks like molten lava. This religous design is now retired. It is an oval pendant with a 3D Ichthus fish in the center that stands out from the dark background. The Ichthus is an ancient symbol for Christ, it was used by early Christians as an "underground" method for identifying their faith. It is a rare older design and is in excellent condition. 

• The back is Hallmarked with Avery Logo © STER.
• Size: 16 x12mm
• Circa 1970's
