The tail is carved to distinguish the feathers bringing life to the piece. The eyes are black ,circled in red while the beak is yellow. Yellow extends around the sides blending into a yellow-green feathered chest. There are green-orange wings on either side which are also carved. The bird stands on a muted yellow-brown-green pedestal. The pedestal is three tiered with carvings on each tier. The piece is signed on the bottom of the pedestal. The carver belongs to an old order Mennonite Community in Lancaster County. His daughter paints all his carvings while his nieces paint panels and canvases. Each piece is made entirely by hand. Each artist is self taught capturing life on the farm into their works. This piece is in excellent condition. The dimensions are 9"H,8"W
