Modeled after a traditional netsuke, a small Japanese figurine, this bird netsuke is irresistibly adorable. A perfect small token and gift, collectable, or desk accessory for anyone.

Most birds are a symbol of freedom, or symbols of future. Many believe birds are a sign of eternal life or immortality. Stories evoke birds as a sign of renewed life, often in transition between life and death, and many even consider birds a bringer of an ideal or proposal for future.

Handcrafted in a Middlebury workshop from solid pewter.

Because each netsuke is made by hand, all dimensions are approximate. Subtle variations are natural.

• Measures 3/4 inches tall, 1 inches long, and 1/2 inches wide
