The clamshell is contained within its original colorful cardboard package featuring the painted artwork of Ariel on which the pin is based.The silver-toned cloissonne pin measures about 3 inches (7.6cm) tall and 2½ inches (6.35cm) wide. Ariel's lower body, fins & waist have a subtle 'glitter' texture. She is depicted in a relaxed ¾ rear-view pose, with her hair flowing to the left. The pin fastens on two points with included black rubber "Mickey Ear" clasps.The pin and clamshell case are in excellent condition; it has been carefully stored in a smoke-free home, and has never been worn or displayed. The outer cardboard box exhibits minor shelf wear on its corners; but is otherwise sturdy and colorful.
