Artist

A large bird sculpture with outstretched wings is perched on an intricately designed oval base. The base features what appears to be a snake. The color palette consists of earthy tones, mainly browns and shades of bronze. The bird is positioned prominently in the center, leaning slightly forward, and the oval base showcases additional carved elements, including small animals. The scene is set against a plain, neutral backdrop.
