Brooch
1944
Metal and rhinestones
Gift of Hope W. Levene
Object number86.104.3
Fashioning a bow from a rigid material separates its functional qualities from its decorative form. Rather than tying, the pin mechanism is what allows it to fasten, resulting in the kind of whimsical costume jewelry popular during the 1940s. It is made from Trifarium, a patented non-tarnishing metal.
