    Description

    Wow, just discovered the entire description disappeared. Why is anyone even looking at this? Had such an elaborate description. How will I ever rewrite it?
    All I remember is, when the dancers of the Ballets Russe came to America, wearing furs and jewels, they were also sporting brooches of the Russian deity Gamayun. It became an American obsession for many reasons, not least of which was that this goddess granted marriages, and good ones at that. This is an authentic 1930s Catalin or Bakelite figural pin made in America, to capitalize on the popularity of the Russian masterpiece that year for Christmas. The description here featured the exact year of peak popularity, but I can't remember it at the moment.
    Grab this rare figural brooch if you love goddesses, Catalin, '30s designs, etc. I will reduce the price by 0!!! Done!
