Nuthatch Bird Brooch

This item is a miniature, hand-carved, and hand-painted nuthatch bird brooch, made from hardwood and finished with a lacquer. It is a vintage piece, possibly in the style of or created by Japanese American artisans Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi, who produced similar bird pins from the 1940s to the 1990s. 

The accompanying packaging identifies the item explicitly as a "NUTHATCH" brooch and describes it as a "lifelike" reproduction of a living bird. The intricate detail and craftsmanship suggest it is a collectible item for bird lovers or vintage jewelry enthusiasts
