Description

Finely crafted in the form of a long-legged bird, possibly a peacock, standing on a circular lotus-petal base. The body and wings are richly engraved with detailed feather patterns, while the elongated neck ends in a flaring rosewater spout shaped as a blossom. The tail is gracefully rendered with chased decoration, complementing the naturalistic modelling of the figure.
