The top segment is hand painted with a hyacinth macaw (a large cobalt blue parrot native to South America). The lower section incorporates opal inlays with cabochon moonstones. The inscription inside quotes James 3:7-8: "For every kind of beast and bird is tamed and hath been tamed but the tongue can no man tame."
