The golden-tailed sapphire (Chrysuronia oenone) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. The golden-rufous tail of the Golden-tailed Sapphire helps indentify both sexes since they tend to appear dark. These sapphires are found around humid forest edges, second growth, light woodlands, plantations, gardens, and partially open areas with scattered trees. Endangered status: Least Concern. Hummingbirds symbolise joy, luck and were traiditionally believed to be messengers of the Gods. This inspired the brightly coloured background of this piece and the divine gold leaf.
