Description
Spotted Tree Nymph Butterfly Pin
This pin is beautifully embroidered in the shape of a spotted tree nymph butterfly, in pink, brown, and gold thread and beads. Reminiscent of the jewelry and costumes seen in the Met Opera production of Madama Butterfly.
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.
- Cotton, felt, metal, sequins & beads
- 1.4” H x 1.6” W
- Hand embroidered in India
History
Puccini’s original version of Madama Butterfly premiered at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in 1904. The composer was inspired to write an opera about a tragic love between a young Japanese geisha and an American Navy officer after seeing David Belasco’s play by the same name performed in London in June 1900. Puccini’s score includes many Japanese folk melodies, and is one of his most sweeping and sophisticated. It remains one of the world’s most popular operas.
