Cricket-shaped hairpin with kingfisher feathers
- Year: 20th century
- Location: China
- Accession Number: 94.98.9
A woman's elegant hairstyle was once ornamented with this beautiful blue cricket. Delicate kingfisher (woodpecker) feathers are glued to the cricket's body to look like enamel. The iridescent quality of the feathers looks much like the shiny covering on real insects. In China, crickets represent good fortune and luck.
