The item is made of hammered-finish metal, which gives it a textured and artisanal appearance, typical of 1950s costume jewelry. The visible surface has a matte patina, with golden or bronze hues, evoking period craftsmanship and a retro aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is openworked in its center by a large circle, giving the whole a graphic and light effect. The suspension ring, integrated into the bird's head, is also fashioned from the same hammered metal, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or as a wall ornament. No additional decorative motifs are visible: the relief of the hammering constitutes the essential decor, emphasizing the artisanal side and the deliberate simplicity of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contours are clean but irregular, reinforcing the handmade feel. The style is reminiscent of mid-century costume jewelry productions, where the abstraction of animal forms was common. No markings or signatures are visible on the exposed face. The pendant is presented standing on a wooden table, which highlights its compact proportions and singular silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal color, somewhere between patinated gold and aged bronze, matches the vintage spirit evoked in the keywords. The hammered aspect, combined with the openwork shape, makes it a decorative accessory as well as a piece of jewelry to wear. The whole exudes the authenticity of an old jewelry stock, unworn, corresponding to the mention \"deadstock\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant perfectly illustrates the 1950s' taste for stylized animal-inspired motifs and raw textures. Its clean and graphic design makes it a decorative object or a characterful piece of jewelry, ideal for an assumed retro touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
