Vintage Wooden Swallow Midcentury Brooch
Vintage Wooden Swallow Midcentury Brooch
Vintage hand-carved wooden brooch in the shape of a swallow in flight. The form is dynamic, with outstretched wings and a long forked tail, capturing the elegance of the bird mid-air.

The brooch is composed of several pieces of contrasting wood, carefully joined together to highlight color variations.
