Pod

The security this patinated brass brooch provides the silk within it is not constrictive; the piece is open, and though the fabric is firmly held inside the form, the folds are free to move and change over time. The silk is only attached to one point of the metal shell, so it isn't trapped or restricted, just held by the metal. The fabric is not doomed to be worn down to nothing, it may escape the shell.
