This is truly a treasure. When not singing this little hand-feathered bird is concealed under a small oval gold plated lid in a beautiful imitation lapis lazuli (lacquer over brass) or imitation malachite box. When it sings its charming little song its beak and wings move. The lapis look is masterfully created using many layers of lacquer. Each coat is polished and repolished and if there is the slightest imperfection, the whole process is begun again, just like in the old days when time did not count. Dimensions: 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" x 1 3/4".
