DescriptionA pin of two rectangular stacked pieces of wood in the shape of an X. Each of the pieces has four vertical stripes, created by alternating woodgrains with colored and uncolored surfaces. The majority of the brooch is blue colored, however there is a single yellow stripe with pink areas on each of the planes. The top piece has a blue colored X applied on the surface. An uneven application of gold paint highlights the overlapping edge.Provenance
