The brooch depicts a stylized five-petaled flower. The petals are curved, part of their surface is covered with a delicate linear (brushed) texture, contrasting with the polished, shiny golden metal surface. This technique of playing with surfaces gives the brooch shape liveliness and brilliance. Such brooches were extremely popular in the collections of Trifari, Napier, Monet, Marvella manufacturers in the 1950s and 1960s, when large, decorative flower motif brooches prevailed.
