Vintage Charles Worth? Tribal Bongo Dancer Brooch Pin Bakelite Copper Tone As Is. The drum is crafted from butterscotch Bakelite with black details. The brooch has a safety rollover clasp on the back. The piece appears unsigned, which was not uncommon for this type of fashion jewelry. This is a beautiful vintage collectible tribal dancer brooch, featuring an iconic design attributed to Charles Worth. The piece appears unsigned, which was not uncommon for this type of fashion jewelry. It does have a round stamp on the back, possibly a copyright mark. It was made in the US, likely in the 1950s. The intricately detailed brooch, likely copper, features a female dancer in a tribal outfit playing a bongo drum. The dancer's clothes and headdress are accented with teal enamel. The drum is crafted from butterscotch Bakelite with black details. The brooch has a safety rollover clasp on the back. The piece is in good condition for its age, but does have some wear on the enamel accents, with the paint being prone to peeling. This appears to be a common problem for jewelry of this type over time. There is also some patina on the copper (see pictures). However, none of this detracts from the piece's unique charm and wearability. This beautifully stylish, eye-catching brooch would be perfect for anyone who appreciates high-quality vintage fashion jewelry. And shipping is always free on all my items.
