Decorative Victorian star shaped pin cushion, consisting of 60 individual silk and velvet covered triangular card templates that create a three dimensional star. There are pins with large beads at the points, and smaller blue beads with pins along the edges. This type of pin cushion was popular in the late Victorian period, and many were produced as decorative ornaments for the parlour rather than having a practical use
