Beautiful cloisonne thimble with a bird, crane or sandpiper, perched on top. The colors are gold, white, blue, green, yellow, black and brown with blue enamel inside. The art of cloisonne is ancient, and takes much detail work. Enamel is inlaid between gold wires fired then ground (repeating as necessary) then polished and electroplated.
