Acadian Flycatcher Bird Pin
notes: label: Description
content: This finished carving of an Acadian flycatcher is another example of the beauty and detail that Sadao Oka was able to create in his artful bird carvings. This bird in particular has a lot of curves and bulges, meaning Mr. Oka would have had to do a lot of work with his pocket knife to carve it into its shape with the amount of detail that it has. He would give these pins as gifts and brooches, but he made sure to keep one of each species he carved.
