The sculpture depicts two bird figures in a stylized manner. The birds are shown in a rich brown color, possibly made of wood. The upper bird is perched with its head up, beak open, and wings tucked in, while the lower bird appears to be in flight with its wings spread out. The surface of the sculpture is textured with engraving patterns, giving it a detailed appearance. The birds are positioned vertically in the image, with the perched bird at the top and the flying bird below it, creating a dynamic composition.
