Cloisonne Articulated Hummingbird Ornament

The hummingbird features movable joints, specifically in the wings and body. This allows the pieces to shift slightly, giving the ornament a dynamic, lifelike appearance when it catches a breeze or is gently touched.

While it makes a lovely addition to a holiday tree, the intricate cloisonné work and gold-plated finish are designed to be displayed year-round. It works well hanging in a window, on a decorative branch, or as a small accent piece on a shelf.

Cloisonné is a traditional technique involving fired enamel on a metal base, which creates a hard, glass-like surface. While it is durable, it should be handled with care like any fine ornament to prevent chipping or scratching the enamel.

The ornament is crafted on a copper base, which provides a solid feel without being overly heavy. At 3 inches by 3 inches, it is lightweight enough to hang securely on standard artificial or real tree branches without causing them to sag.

To maintain the luster of the gold plating, simply wipe the ornament occasionally with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage both the gold finish and the enamel inlay.
