This is an authentic Takahashi wooden bird pin. These little jewels were hand carved with exacting details and then expertly painting to match the colors of the real birds. Up to ten layers of lacquer were applied to give the birds shine and to protect its paint. That is why this bird's finish is so smooth and still looks perfect after many years. This bird is a male Scarlet Tanger and is a vibrant red with black and teal feathers. His feet are wired on a real twig and the pin back is attached with push pins. These are all indicators of an authentic and collectible Takahashi bird. This exact bird pin is featured prominently in Julia C. Carroll's book Collecting Costume Jewelry 303 on page 112 and on the back cover. - Unsigned, View A , B - See the back.
