Description

Idar-Oberstein, Germany,
carved from a single section of opal rough, the natural transition from potch opal to play-of-color cleverly utilized to lend strong blue and green color flash to the wings, head and tail, while the breast shows subtle purple flashes, the beak of gem green tourmaline, the eyes inset with gold bezel set cabochon cut rubies, the feet and textured perch of gold, the base of onyx rimmed with gold accents.
Stamp: ERWIN KLEIN.
12.70 x 6.35 x 5.08 cm.
