Hummingbird Skull Brooch in Gold and Black Leather

This precious brooch adds a touch of macabre is the most beautiful way - handcrafted using genuine, full grain leather, it features a gorgeous, life-like hummingbird skull made of solid brass and gold plated. Skull piece is sourced from an artisan in Istanbul, Turkey. Two layers of thick, smooth grain leather make up the body of this brooch, with pebbled leather hand stitched for a multi-layered effect to frame the skull. Two butterfly clutch tacks are securely attached from between the layers of leather (because these are pushed through a thick layer of leather, these work best on medium weight fabrics - the butterfly tacks may not securely attach through very thick coats - pictured on an Autumn weight wool coat). The edges are sanded smooth and coated with glossy black edge kote for a crisp, clean look. Available in gold plated and silver plated sparrow skulls as well (see separate listings). *Pictured second to last photo. Culte du Cuir (or Leather Cult) is a woman owned and operated leather shop.
