An early 20th century paste butterfly brooch, set with circular-shape colourless pastes and red paste eyes. Length 4.8cms. Weight 12.1gms.

Overall fair to good condition. Pin can be removed and clasp folded down, has central screw hole so can be used as a hair accessory, there is no hair accessory attachment with it. There are moderate surface scratches and tarnishing throughout from general wear. There is a noticeable replacement paste near the centre of the brooch, it is more yellow than the others. Four other pastes look to be replacements as they show adhesive around them and/or don't fit right. There is minor abrasion to some of the pastes. The brooch would benefit from a clean. Pin and hinges are in good working order.
