About the Item
From the personal collection of our founder, Dixon Smith.
This stylized bird sculpture is made of a reddish-brown, clay or terra cotta. The bird is depicted in a simplified, abstract form with exaggerated features:
The body is rounded and smooth, giving it a solid, compact appearance.
The wings are raised vertically and carved with subtle feather details, adding a sense of motion or alertness.
The tail curves downward and appears to rest on the ground.
The head is small and rounded with a distinct spiral or circular motif for the eye, giving it a primitive or folk-art aesthetic.
The sculpture sits on a woven natural fiber rug, and the surrounding setting suggests it is placed indoors, possibly as a decorative object. The overall design has a handmade, artisanal quality, potentially influenced by traditional or indigenous art styles.
One of the wings has the tip chipped off.
