Maomao Peony Portrait Enamel Pin – The Apothecary Diaries

For once Maomao is not covered in herb dust. This Maomao portrait pin shows her in a rare calm moment, framed by flowers she would probably rather dry and grind than admire.

Maomao portrait with pink peonies

The pin is a head-and-shoulders portrait: Maomao in three-quarter view with her straight fringe, a blue bow in her hair, blue eyes and the collar of her pale green robe, against a cluster of pink peonies. The hair is enamelled in layered shades of teal and blue for a soft, glossy look. A black metal outline follows the shape of her head and the flowers, so the pin has no square edge.

What you get

• 1 enamel pin: Maomao portrait with pink peonies
• Metal with coloured enamel and a black outline

Where to wear it

It is the largest pin of the line, so it holds its own on a coat lapel, a beret or the front of a tote. Pair it with the Jinshi white flower portrait from the same line for a matching set of two, one in pink, one in white. A pretty gift for a fan who prefers the quiet Maomao to the poison-tasting one.
