A characterful small desk piece: a hand-cast bronze seabird poised on a rough-hewn stone dish with a smooth, cupped well. The stone has a naturally rugged edge and mottled surface; the bird shows lovely hammering and timeworn patina.

Works beautifully as an ashtray, coin or ring dish, or simply as a sculptural accent with coastal energy and brutalist texture. Honest wear, marks and oxidation from age; one leg shows minor distortion and light losses to the tiny feet, all stable and display ready.

Dating from the first half of the last century.

Approx size: dish diameter 12 cm (4.7"), wingspan about 14 cm (5.5"), overall height about 7 cm (2.8").
