The Bird and Her Young Brass Button · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: The Bird and Her Young Brass Button
Description: 1900? Brass button with black background. A bird and her young? 1” in diameter. Unknown source.

This button is a mystery to me. We have found it among our buttons in 2025 and have no record of how it came to us. I cannot think of what fable it might represent, if it represents a fable at all. A bird on a branch looks down on young below. Attempts to find a similar button online have yielded wild and unhelpful results.
Date: 1900?
