Description :

We are not quite sure what to make of this sculpture!

This is a fantastical ceramic bird standing on iron legs next to what appears to be a stone angel given the wings. We are unsure about the relationship between the two, but the bird's colorful glazed detailing provides a stark contrast to the smooth angel who reminds us of a niche figure in an old weathered cathedral. 

Both figures are mounted on a rock with striations of green and orange. The whole arrangement is just plain weird and that’s why we like it! We think that most of the cracks are purposefully-made flaws with the exception of a missing toe on the bird where his leg meets the base. (Given the unfinished nature of the piece, this is not really noticeable unless you know it's missing - see last photo).

We do not know who the artist is and it does not appear to be in the style of our client. Would look terrific on one of the marble plinths up for sale elsewhere in this auction, though!

Measures 25" H x 16" W x approx. 8" D.
