Anatolian Leopard Brooch

Adapted to mountainous, forested and rocky terrain, it is known for its agility, strength and ability to move with ease across difficult ground. Solitary and elusive by nature, it remains one of Anatolia’s rarest encounters in the wild. In Turkish and Ottoman hunting culture, leopards also appear as hunting companions. Their speed, instinct and independent nature came to evoke strength, freedom and a refusal to submit. Recent camera-trap records have confirmed the presence of the Anatolian leopard in different parts of Türkiye, leading to renewed efforts for its protection. D’Evin interprets the silhouette of the Anatolian leopard through sharp lines, meticulous craftsmanship and details drawn from the colours of its natural habitat, expressing its character through two defining qualities: strength and dignity.
