The Brooch:
Typical of the Florenza style with heavily textured clothing with enamelled patches, hat and scarf on a metal alloy cast body of a "Hobo with Swag". The face consists of a Faux Emerald Cabochon and the swag hanging from a stick is a large Faux Sapphire Teardrop Rhinestone.

Florenza have captured an appeal in this rather 'rugged' up caricatured figure of a Tramp of Hobo. This is a collectable, wearable quality example of Florenza's work.
