I saw and bought a little bird sitting on a nest made from metal, it's a hawk with her three babies. The nest is very intricate,showing the individual twiggs which make up the nest. It has a hinge and a safety lock and is very well made. I was'nt sure but thought it might be unmarked silver, but on closer inspection I think it's either lead or svelter. It's smaller than a small egg,but quite heavy.When open, it is lined with a red, I think, felt like, material. It's so small I can't think what it might have been used for, but considering the amount of work that has gone into the making, it must have had a use.anyone out there any ideas? I bought it at a boot sale for £1.5O. It's too small for a trinket box, (might get a ring in it) to heavy and sharp to have in one's pocket, but would look lost on a dressing table.
