The vendor worked as an animator on the 1982 film Pink Floyd The Wall. He recalled that Nick Mason gave him the small silver brick charm after Pink Floyd's last performance of The Wall. The vendor commissioned the unique brooch shortly after he had finished working on the animation of the film. He had animated the image from The Trial sequence of the aeroplane transforming into the Mother's screaming face, and found it to be so arresting, he commissioned this unique brooch as an unusual memento of it.
