Fabulous vintage 1980s/1990s Southwestern whimsical folk art brooch pin.
This delightful, mixed-media piece features a unique layered design: a square copper torso soldered onto a bright copper round backdrop. The 'body' is decked out in a hand-sculpted polymer clay pink bikini with purple polka dots, topped off with a silvertone cowboy hat. The arms and legs are crafted from playful, thick-gauge copper wire.
The back is hand-signed and dated, though the signature is blurred and unverified. A fantastic piece of wearable art for any vintage novelty jewelry collector.
