    Hello,
    I am in a quandary as to the meaning, age and value of this item.
    The cloth and thread is very tender and breaks easily.
    This is an estate sale find and was rolled into a ball and took 2 hours to unravel.
    I am ASSUMING this is an OWL and the piece at the bottom may not be part of the original work.
    Looks like a windchime.
    At a total loss as I feel it could be important.
    Thank you for any help.

      Chinese good luck coin talisman. Some are in the shape of a sword. I have one nearly identical to yours. Nice find, not too common.
