Spotted Seahorse Beaded Brooch Pin

The Spotted Seahorse, known scientifically as Hippocampus kuda, also referred to as the common seahorse, estuary seahorse, or yellow seahorse. Ancient Greek poets coined the term Hippocampus to describe a mythical creature that’s half horse, half fish—hippos meaning horse and campus meaning sea monster. This playful name perfectly captures the horse-like head positioned 90 degrees from its upright, armor-plated body, curved trunk, and a prehensile tail. The Spotted Seahorse isn’t the best swimmer and usually clings to surfaces with its tail. Luckily, this charming brooch will happily cling to you instead!
