Sequin and Bead Santa Moon Christmas Pin

This item is a decorative pin or brooch, crafted in the whimsical shape of a crescent moon stylized as Santa Claus. The primary materials appear to be sequins and small beads, meticulously hand-stitched or glued onto a backing material, likely felt or fabric, although the backing is not visible. The Santa hat portion covering the upper curve of the moon is densely covered with small, vibrant red sequins, giving it a shimmering, textured appearance. A small, fluffy white pom-pom acts as the tip of the Santa hat. The face of Santa, which forms the central curve of the moon, is made from a light tan or beige material, possibly felt or a similar soft fabric, with a single small black bead indicating an eye. His beard, extending from beneath the face and forming the lower, broader curve of the moon, is composed of numerous small, iridescent white or clear sequins, creating a frosty, sparkling effect. Integrated into the red hat, near the face, are small green leaves (likely felt) and tiny red berry-like beads, forming a sprig of holly, a classic Christmas motif. The item exhibits a handmade or craft fair quality, suggesting it may be a vintage piece from the mid-to-late 20th century due to its common crafting style during that era. The sequins and beads appear to be largely intact, with no obvious signs of significant loss or damage, indicating good preservation for its estimated age. The overall condition suggests careful handling and storage. This piece would have likely been worn as a festive accessory during the holiday season.
