This signed vintage Hattie Carnegie figural brooch depicts a dramatic butterfly or moth with broad textured gold-tone wings and a large translucent amber-colored jelly-belly style body. Two aqua-blue round rhinestones form the eyes, while clear rhinestones sparkle at the tips of the long antennae. The sculptural design gives the insect a whimsical, collectible presence.
