The pin features two large eyes, a wide mouth, and a bony framework outlined on the back. The surface is lightly stippled.

Dr. Sydney Friedman and his wife Dr. Constance Friedman were acquainted for many years with Haida artist, Bill Reid, whom they commissioned to make gold and silver jewelry, between the early 1950s and 1974. This brooch, however, was a gift from Reid to Marriane Koerner in 1970. Dr. Constance Friedman received it in 1992 as a bequest from Marianne Koerner.
