DescriptionFlower basket pin made from tiny shells. The basket is mint green colored with medium blue and white lines to imitate weaving, and a tall looped handle. Three large pink flowers are made of shells, with seven smaller blue shell flowers around it. A few tufts of shells on small sticks stand vertically on the right side of the basket; three small green leaves decorate both the left and right sides. One leaf is detached from the left side.
