Blue glass eyes, a lightly textured brass body, and 6 curved legs add further detail to the stylish design. Hidden on the underside of the piece is a simple bar pin with a “c-catch” closure, perfect for fastening to a favorite garment. This unusual piece is perfect for the antique collector or insect jewelry lover! Measurements: The pin measures 1 5/8″ long, 1 1/8″ wide, and 3/8 thick.
