The bird is perched on a gnarled tree stump, in an attitude of tense alertness, as if eyeing a possible prey.
This suggests that it was intended to represent a falcon, or similar bird of prey.
The figurine has been moulded in three parts, the bird in one; the tree stump in two.
These have been luted together and boldly decorated in blood red and azure, with detailing in black, 11.5cm.
