    That's a swallow. They have symbolic meanings such as safe homecomings.

    I wonder why they were so commonly enameled in blue;)

    They were a Thing, and the blue stood out on clothing. Victorians enameled and painted them on things too, often in white for the same reason.

    Beautiful, I love it!
    (I actually have a small swallow tattoo on the back of my left shoulder. Got it back in 1983. :))
