Description

The statuette of a bird is a bronze sculpture of a bird sitting on a pedestal measuring 17.5 x 12.2 x 3.3 cm, with a long neck and tail. Its round, convex eyes formerly had coloured incrustations in the depressions of the center. The body is hollow, and has wedge-shaped openings on the breast and sides to create the wings. The bird's wings, breasts, and tail are decorated by a linear pattern. The pedestal is a square column with an anchorshaped base covered in triangular holes and linear patterns. The anchor ends are terminated by a miniature sculpture of a frog that has bulging eyes and a large mouth.[2]
