The sculpture depicts three birds resting on top of two stacked books. The birds are styled with realistic features and positioned side by side. The material appears to be a rough-textured material, possibly ceramic or a similar medium. The colors featured in the sculpture include muted shades of grey, beige, and brown for the birds, and weathered blue and green hues for the books with distressed areas that reveal a worn appearance. The books have a dusty or aged look, contributing to the overall antiquated feel of the piece. The composition presents the birds calmly perched on the rough and aged books beneath them.
