In Chinese culture, the magpie is an auspicious bird — its name a pun on the word for happiness and joy — and the plum blossom, flowering in the cold of late winter, is a symbol of perseverance, renewal, and beauty that thrives in adversity. Together they form one of the most beloved compositions in Chinese decorative art, hand-painted here in gold and red across the deep chocolate-brown surface of a Sucupira hardwood comb. Painted in a folk art style — simple gold silhouettes, gestural branches, clusters of red berries — the composition has the unguarded charm of a traditional craft passed hand to hand rather than school to school. A daily grooming tool that carries a good wish.
