Her skirt isn't painted at all: it's \u003cstrong\u003ereal black lace and fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e, tucked in under the glass with tiny embroidered red roses and green leaves at her hip. The artist signed it in black at the upper left. These dancer brooches were popular souvenirs from Spain in the mid-1900s, and the mix of painting and real fabric makes each one a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e gold-tone metal, glass dome, hand-painted backing, lace and fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrooch style:\u003c\/strong\u003e oval picture brooch with twisted rope bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 2\" tall x 1 1\/2\" wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1940s to 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e prong-set backplate, hinge and C-catch; \u003cstrong\u003epin stem is broken\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e artist's signature on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold as is: the pin stem is broken off at the hinge\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it can't be worn as a brooch right now. A jeweler can replace the pin, you can glue on a new pin back, or it would make a lovely pendant, ornament or shadow box piece. The inner bezel has light discoloration and wear to the gold tone, with a tiny green spot near the bottom edge, and the backplate shows tarnish and age. The painting, lace and glass dome look good. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and shows normal signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one available.
