What do you see?

The latest necklace that I listed on http://felt.co.nz/shop/lindensage features a solid brass pendant with incredible filigree detailing. I don't know the age of the piece but most likely from the early to mid 1900s. I believe that they were base stamping components for jewellery designs.

The lady that I got it from says that the piece was a "coppery" colour and not so pretty. So, it was subjected to her altering process. She applied her gold leafing technique and then applied antiquing solution and sealed it. It is finished on both sides and the end result is the golden patina beauty as pictured.

I see "a wing" or "an intricate pendant" or "a butterfly". What do you see?
