Pelican Bird Ornament
by Old World Christmas

From Old World Christmas. The Pelican is a symbol of Jesus per an ancient legend. During a famine, the Pelican cared so dearly for her young that she chose to give them her own blood to prevent starvation, but in turn lost her own life. The Pelican is a symbol of self-sacrifice and is used in heraldry. With accurate form and a bright orange bill, this Pelican ornament is beautifully made, with wonderful glittered accents on the feather textured wings, and a beachy, sand-like base underneath.
