A large wooden bird Christmas ornament, hand carved and hand painted the colour of a midwinter sky, then scattered with tiny gold stars. Its wings sweep back as if it has only just flown in from the dark, and a small gold bell hangs beneath, so it chimes softly whenever the tree is brushed. Swallows were once trusted to carry the spring back across the sea, which makes this a fitting thing to hang in the darkest month. Every bird is carved by hand and every star is painted by hand, so no two are alike. For the tree, a window, a mantelpiece or anyone who likes their Christmas decorations with a little folklore in them.
