Penguin and Chick

Fine, parallel etched lines across the brass distinguish the smooth, dark head of the adult Emperor penguin from the thick, downy coat of its chick. The artist captures their tight bond by placing the fledgling right against the parent's breast, mirroring how these birds shield their young from Antarctic winds. Offered as earrings in both gold and silver-rhodium finishes, this design is now very scarce on the secondary market.
