Eagle or Falcon Rhinestone Brooch

This is a gold-toned brooch in the shape of a stylized eagle or falcon in flight. The entire surface of the bird's body, wings, and tail is encrusted with small, clear rhinestones which appear to be individually set, likely in a pave or bead setting. The eyes of the bird are represented by two small green stones, possibly glass or colored rhinestones, adding a pop of color and detail. The legs and talons are depicted in a naturalistic pose, as if in mid-air. The metal appears to be a base metal with a gold-colored plating, showing some signs of wear on the edges and raised areas where the plating may have rubbed off, revealing the underlying metal. The construction suggests it is a cast piece with the stones set after casting. There is a pin and clasp mechanism on the back, not fully visible in the image but implied by its function as a brooch. The overall style suggests it might be costume jewelry and could date from the mid to late 20th century, possibly representing a vintage piece. The craftsmanship is decent for costume jewelry, with the stone setting appearing generally consistent, though the exact quality and number of stones are difficult to ascertain without closer examination. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image.
