The sculpture shows the head of a bird, resembling an eagle, with an open beak. Carved from wood, it has a natural brown color and visible wood grain texture. Details include the beak's curve, textured feathers on the neck, and a carved eye. The piece portrays the bird's majesty at a lifelike scale relative to humans.
