Cepora Butterfly Pin

This delightful butterfly pin is reflective of the many colorful, tropical animals in the Met’s splendid production of Mozart’s much-loved opera, The Magic Flute.

Crafted from cotton felt, beads, and sequins, with a metal pin on the back, this one-of-a-kind piece is exquisitely hand-sewn, hand-beaded and hand-embroidered by artisans using an age-old Luneville embroidery technique.

Artisans combine illustrations with needlecraft to create unique collections.

Handpicked materials merge matte and shine, polished and rough to create mesmerizing patterns and organic lifelike dimension. Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape, and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces; this is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.
