A lyrical grouping of four carved wooden birds, each rendered with a striking economy of form. The figures are sculpted from softwood—likely pine—and retain remnants of their original polychrome surface in muted shades of indigo, chestnut, and chalky white. Their gently abstracted silhouettes evoke shorebirds and waterfowl, perched with a quiet, balanced grace on simple block and turned wooden bases. The patina, softened and irregular, hints at decades of age and handling, giving the ensemble an almost totemic presence.
