Bird necklace ?
Have been looking for one of these bird necklaces for a long time. Magic!
Dear Anna: A simply perfect Bird necklace! Great! Peter
This photo is the one in the museum. I have posted two photos on the Home Page of my own two bird necklaces. Thanks for the comments. I agree that the filigree with the charming little birds is fantastic.
Anna, - Can you tell me which museum holds this one, please? It's another great piece, though I must admit that I find the two that you have rather livelier, and in that respect more appealing, though that does not mean "better". All three are great.
@Joost - this is in the National Museum of Israel in the Yemenite exhibition. I suspect the comparative liveliness that you mention is the result of this being an older published photograph and the photos of my necklaces being freshly taken in a setting that shows more dimension. I agree that they are all beautiful.
Thank you for your comments.
Anna
Many thanks!!
