Made of cast bronze with a smooth polished or patinated finish, it is attributed to the 20th-century American School as part of a broader Mid-Century Modern movement that often featured abstract avian themes.
In creating a sweeping, organic form that evokes the motion of wings or a soaring creature, the unknown creator focused on streamlined aerodynamics—capturing the essence rather than literal detail.
A small support under the right-hand wing tips the piece upward slightly, underscoring the sense of a bird aloft. At 49 inches wide, it has a significant presence, which makes it suitable for large mantels, credenzas, or as a wall-mounted feature.
