Unusual vintage mixed-media portrait brooch featuring a dimensional hand-painted female face framed by layered black and brown fabric to create a turban or headdress. The portrait is richly embellished with an oversized iridescent faceted stone, beads, faux pearls, a translucent blue teardrop and antiqued gold tone leaves.
