Vintage Silver-Toned Bird Charm with Blue Inlay

This is a vintage silver-toned metal charm or pendant, designed in the shape of a bird, likely an eagle or a hawk, with its wings spread in flight. The item appears to be crafted from a base metal, possibly silver plate or an alloy, exhibiting a matte, aged finish with some visible wear. Its dimensions are roughly 1.5 to 2 inches in length. Detailed feathering is etched or embossed onto the body and lower wing sections, giving it a textural quality. The most distinguishing feature is the inlay of a vibrant, iridescent blue material within the upper sections of the wings. This blue material, possibly a type of enamel, resin, or crushed stone (like turquoise or lapis lazuli), has an uneven texture suggesting it might be an inlay rather than a smooth enamel. There are no clear maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. A small jump ring or bail attachment point is present at the top center of the bird's back, indicating its function as a charm for a necklace, bracelet, or other decorative purpose. The overall condition shows signs of age, including minor surface scratches and a natural patina consistent with an older piece. The blue inlay appears intact with no significant chips or cracks. The craftsmanship suggests it is a handcrafted or semi-handcrafted item, perhaps from the mid-20th century, with a style reminiscent of Southwestern or Native American-inspired jewelry.
