Notes
A small bronze bird mounted on a pedestal, characterized by a huge, hooked beak that is disproportionate to the head. It has a long neck and a small body that ends with a tail that branches into two branches. The decoration is distributed on the right and left sides, and is limited to finishing at the neck level and the location of the wings, forming feathers. The eyes are engraved in an oval shape, topped by horizontal indentations. The right side engraving also appears more elegant in the drawing. The other parts of the bird's body were left smooth. It appears that the craftsman who made this small statue wanted to make it a decorative and practical element at the same time, such as a button to hold a sugar lid or a plate with a lid, etc...
