21 Takahashi wood birds Made from WWII to the 1980s
A group of hand-carved and hand-painted wood birds made by Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi. I originally became interested in these based on a bird found by Judi Bollan, and bought my first bird, the pheasant at the top, from Rene Colon. I now have about 45 birds.

29 Hand Painted Persian Jewelry. These items were all bought in Israel, but they were made by immigrants from Iran. Most of them were done by the father of an elderly silversmith I came to know well. I believe they were all done about 1950, though they use themes that are very old.
