Articulated Alligator Brooch CSBH

This charming and detailed vintage brooch is a remarkable piece of collectible costume jewelry. It is designed in the form of an alligator, with its body entirely covered in a dazzling array of faceted green rhinestones. The gold-toned metal has a textured finish that gives the piece a distinctive and scaly appearance.
A truly special feature of this brooch is its articulated jaw, which is hinged to open and close. When the mouth is opened, it reveals a whimsical and delightful secret: a tiny, hidden bird sitting inside.
The pin is signed on the reverse with the hallmark "LS."
