This "golden chicken" pin was with several other pieces that I believe were from Israel. I have found samples of most of the other pieces I have, but can not find anything else like this one. It is very detailed, showing breast bones and legs. I would love any information on this piece. There are no markings on it at all.

I have the same pin, but mine is in bright gold-tone and has a turquoise cabochon in each wing. Very beautiful and well-made, but no signature too.
