Help w/ Brooch, please

A friend asked me to list this. I know little about jewelry but fortunately ya'll do. My concern is that it's worth a fraction of what he thinks it's worth. Hopefully, I'm wrong. As you look around the edges of the front I see lines (as in, this is paper that's been glued on). The back is perhaps tortoise shell?? What say you? And since I find nothing similar in current or completed listings, any guesses as to worth, if any? Many thanks in advance.

It looks like a transfer print affixed to faux tortoise shell (probably acrylic).  It's a "Revival" piece, probably from the 1950s.
