This 1970s Mid-Century Modern sculpture is a prime example of Feldman's iconic work. The body is wheel-thrown, showcasing a rhythmic, ribbed texture, while the expressive face, sharp talons, and—in a rare, whimsical detail—a small mouse captured in its beak, are all meticulously hand-sculpted.

This hollow-bodied piece doubles as a stunning and magical luminary. When a small candle or LED is placed inside, the large, round eyes cast a captivating, warm glow, making it an extraordinary centerpiece.

Authentic and fully signed "FELDMAN" on the interior base.
