Although quite schematic, the subject of this pendant is easily recognizable as a bird, likely a rooster. Cleverly designed to hang evenly from its central suspension loop, it comprises three main parts: long neck terminating in a head with a pointy beak and small crest; triangular body with stylized feet; and broadly arched tail feathers.
