Standing over three feet tall, this impressive work of folk art is entirely encrusted in a diverse array of natural seashells. From the tiny, uniform shells forming the perch to the larger, colorful scallops and urchin spines mimicking feathers and plumage, every inch displays meticulous craftsmanship. The bird’s expressive face, complete with a dramatic crest, adds a whimsical personality that perfectly captures the "Sailor’s Valentine" or Grotto aesthetic.

A true conversation piece, this sculpture commands attention as a floor statue in a sunroom, a focal point on a large console, or a playful guardian in a coastal-themed entryway.
Measurements: 13.5″ Width × 13.5″ Depth × 40.25″ Height.
In great vintage condition, the sculpture is structurally sound. Given the delicate nature of shell art, minor natural variations or small losses are expected and contribute to its authentic, handcrafted charm. Secure this unique avian masterpiece to add a splash of island character to your home. See less
