Indonesian Locket with Dodo Bird Motif

Diamond-shaped locket turned on its corner, with a small sign inside.

This sterling silver and glass locket with a dodo bird motif is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Balinese silversmiths often combine sterling silver with stones or glass, and many work in small family workshops where designs are shaped and finished by hand. Square pendant set on its point, hanging from a long link chain on a black velvet bust. The dark face holds a small pale motif inside a thin metal frame. A little cap and ring join it to the chain.

Small, diamond-shaped, and keeping its own news private.
