The sculpture depicts a bird in profile with its tail raised and head turned slightly forward. It is made of a dark material with a textured surface, giving it a near-black or deep gray appearance. The bird is carved in relief on a flat rectangular background, with the outline cut into the material. Subtle variations in texture and depth create contrast against the background, defining the bird's shape. The overall design emphasizes the silhouette and form of the bird in a simple and stylized manner.
