| Description | A figurine of a bird holding a seed in its beak, perhaps intended to represent a pigeon or dove. The bird has been cast in the round with a flat back and a fan-shaped tail. At the junction between the tail and the back there is a pronounced semi-circular depression and there is a corresponding depression on the underside of the body and tail. The body then tapers towards an angular, lozenge-shaped stand representing legs and feet. The wings are not defined and no plumage or feathers are indicated (Worrell). |
