This butterfly-shaped trinket box is constructed from cast metal with an antiqued brass finish. The lid features gradient enamel wings transitioning from dark purple with glitter accents to a pale cream color. The design is embellished with numerous inset round-cut rhinestones in clear and pink tones arranged along the wing segments, central body, and scrolled lower wing tips. The wing edges and central spine are detailed with a beaded metal border. The interior of the box is coated in a light olive green enamel. The base is finished with a textured, hammered pattern and retains a gold foil sticker reading MADE IN TAIWAN. The lid is secured to the base by two small magnets embedded in the rim. Dimensions: Width approx. 8.9 cm (3.5 inches) measured against a ruler. Condition: The item is in good condition with no missing rhinestones or visible losses to the enamel. The metal finish shows minor shelf wear consistent with handling.
