The piece combines a tight, fine-gauge wicker weave on the breast with dozens of individually hand-cut and layered rattan feather scales along the back, wings, and head. It is finished with expressive glass eyes, a carved wooden beak, and sturdy wrapped taloned feet that provide stable tabletop balance.

An ideal decorative accent for a bookshelf vignette, study desk, cocktail table tray, credenza, or curio cabinet, this charming bird sculpture brings warm artisanal texture to Bohemian, Mid-Century Modern, Coastal, Tropical, or Eclectic interiors. To care for the delicate natural woven rattan and layered feather splints, routine gentle dusting with a soft makeup brush or canned compressed air is recommended, avoiding moisture and liquid cleaners. Dimensions measure 3.25 inches in width, 4.25 inches in depth, and 6.5 inches in total height. The sculpture is in very good vintage condition, structurally sound and tight with no broken weave or missing feathers, displaying light age-appropriate edge wear and a warm honey-amber patina consistent with careful historical preservation.
