The sculpture features a group of birds scattered across the surface. Most of them are lying on their backs with wings partially spread or folded. The birds are crafted in dark hues. They appear to be made of a textured material, possibly resembling charred wood or a similar substance. The detailed craftsmanship in the wings and bodies of the birds shows intricate attention to natural texture. The way the birds are positioned may suggest fallen or resting birds from different angles. The overall arrangement creates a dynamic yet static representation of the birds.
