Cute Chicken / Rooster Pendant — Holding Heart

3D model description
This adorable chicken/rooster pendant features layered feather detail, a heart held gently between its wings and an integrated hanging loop — perfect as a necklace charm, bag accessory, keychain or small collectible. The sculpt preserves fine surface detail while remaining friendly to hobbyist printers.

The model is single-piece and watertight. The loop at the top accepts a jump ring or cord, and the decorative base allows the piece to stand if printed at larger sizes.

Use cases: pendant, keychain, small gift, Valentine’s charm, printable collectible.
