The sculpture depicts a bird with a prominent head crest and tail feathers. It is rendered in brown-colored material with intricate carving, mimicking plumage patterns. The bird stands on a cylindrical base, allowing a full side profile view. The carving shows textured surfaces on the body and base, giving it a lifelike representation. The bird is positioned in a slightly forward-leaning stance, with its head pointed downward.
