The Firebird is a Russian Folklore personage. The Firebird is described as a large bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange, and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame.
The story of the Firebird inspired many literary works, including "The Little Humpback Horse" by Piter Yerhov". The most famous production of the Firebird was by Sergey Diaghilev of Russian Ballet who commissioned composer Igor Stravinsky to create the enormously popular large-scale ballet score known as The Firebird.
This beautiful Firebird pin has been hand-painted in a classic Mstera style. The brooch has a black background with a gold decorative edge. This brooch is a perfect representation of Russian Traditional Folk Art.
Several layers of lacquer protect the painting, and on the backside of the brooch is a safety pin that allows this beautiful and fun accessory to securely fasten to anything.
