Cardinal Pin
notes: label: Description
content: This tiny carving of a cardinal has a bright red color that Sadao Oka most likely spent tenuous hours mixing, trying to match the color to the cardinal depicted in the Audubon identification card (2016.0117.055). He used these cards both as reference and inspiration. The details of this bird are miniscule and precise, and many of these small intricacies are produced by Mr. Oka's skill with the paintbrush.
