Big-hat hatpins
Oriental style
Carved and painted ivory globe hatpin
Carved ivory ball.
Many hatpins display combinations of technique - here,a painted ivory globe head, oriental-looking florals, with places of applied gold for reflection, and small indentations or carvings also made in patterns. The rod looks drilled through, with a softened-point pentangle shape holding the top, molded to fit, and the same shape at the base of the globe. Rod 8"
