A gold die-cut numeral 4 is the first thing to notice here, with a small elf and a bird perched around its curves. Die-cut pieces like this were stamped from thin metal or paper and became popular as decorative scrap and greeting ornaments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Makers often paired them with whimsical figures drawn from folklore, so the elf sits comfortably beside the bird on the numeral. Such cards were typically given to mark a child's birthday or a fourth year, and their bright gilt surfaces were meant to catch the light.
