This is a slightly smaller version of my first listing. This dragonfly pin was designed by William Spratling, the famed Mexican silver designer. It was completed during the 3rd design period of 1951-1967. It is sterling with applied tortoise shell wings and detailed with copper eyes.. The condition is very good. It measures 2 3/8 across the wing span X 1 3/4 inches long. Iconic Spratling brooch. It looks wonderful alone or worn with it's larger "mate."
