/

A miniature book that opens into four panels — each a small stage for a photograph or keepsake — its cover set with an oval cabochon bearing a hand-painted bluebird perched against a sky-blue ground. The painted detail is delicate and confident: the bird rendered with soft, sure strokes, its russet breast and blue wings catching the light differently depending on the angle. The antiqued brass body is engraved with a sunburst petal frame around the cabochon setting, and the back is plain and warm. The kind of object that holds both a secret and a story.

Materials Antiqued brass-tone base metal; hand-painted oval cabochon (porcelain or resin — unverified); elongated oval link chain
