An unsigned pin duck/bird pin that I picked up at an estate sale pinned onto a nearly shredded piece of old paper. How this pin didn't end up damaged I'll never know but it's gorgeous with a deep green belly, lighter green rhinestone eye and the rest of the body in pave and a slightly larger rhinestone "foot".
