Carved wood and engraved brass 'moth' brooch, France, 1950s

A stunning 'moth' brooch, very simple, sculpted and architectural in its design. The brass wings and ears are all one piece and engraved, the wood body, carved and polished.
It has a secure pin and hook fitting. Unsigned, it is part of a series on insects made in France in the late 1950s, instantly eye catching and appealing (a picture below shows two other designs which are also available - worn together they would look stunning!)
