This delightful ornament captures the distinctive charm of the Downy Woodpecker, a small yet striking bird known for its energetic behavior and bold markings. Designed by Margaret Cobane, the ornament is handblown from glass and artfully hand-painted to represent the woodpecker's unique features. The black and white plumage is meticulously detailed, highlighted with golden accents that add a touch of sparkle. The characteristic red patch on the top of its head completes its lifelike appearance. Downy Woodpeckers are recognized for their agility and their distinct drumming sounds as they forage for insects on tree trunks. Despite their small size, they play a significant role in forest ecosystems. Hanging this ornament on an ornament chandelier, a holiday tree, or as part of a year-round display brings the lively spirit of this vivacious bird into any setting. Each piece is individually handcrafted, celebrating both the natural beauty of the Downy Woodpecker and the timeless artistry of glassblowing. This ornament is not just a delightful decoration, but a treasured keepsake for bird enthusiasts and collectors alike. Approximately 4.5 inches Includes braided gold braid for hanging
