This amazing, One of a kind object is a mixed metal brooch in the shape of a woman with a LOT going on. She is made from Sterling silver, copper and brass, much of which is richly colored in baked enamel. She sports genuine trade beads around her waist and neck, copper wire sandals and hair ornaments, a copper hand bag and brass boom box. Her breasts of peridot and garnet are bezel set with cutouts behind them for added brilliance.
