Would you say this is repousse?  It looks like a cow   What country do you think it is representing and any idea on the era or age?  It appears to be gold plated on possibly copper   Thanks for any input

Very interesting brooch.  I would call it repousse.  My guess to the origin of the piece would be India.  I think this may be Aditi astride your cow.

"Verses of the Rigveda refer to the cow as Devi (goddess), identified with Aditi (mother of the gods) herself. "

Though the beauty may be in the butterfly, the struggle and growth occur in the cocoon.
