[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 2270135, member: 5006"]No idea! The blob holding the eyelet is old hard resin, it was the only way to hold it! Piercing such a thin brittle material wouldn't have been a durable way for that. It is very thin and dimensional, the butterfly detaches from the back, has holes with sharp edges, very difficult to catch in pics! [ATTACH=full]257193[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]257194[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]257195[/ATTACH] No taste...:p no smell... If it was made from a once liquid stuff, it wouldn't show such sharp, thin ridges and edges:wideyed: I didn't even dare to wash it (yes, put my tongue on that not cleaned evil face :hilarious:) I indeed think it is 1900s in the taste of Elisabeth Bonte and Amalric Walter pieces with insects and leaves. Later some createurs worked in resins/man made experimental materials, which didn't aged very well. A big true mystery:bucktooth::rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
