The object is a sculpted figure of a bird, likely a hawk or falcon, perched on a smooth spherical base. The bird has detailed feathers and a sharp beak, with its talons gripping the sphere firmly. The entire figure is mounted on a tall, elegantly shaped pedestal with a flared base, giving the sculpture a balanced and upright appearance. The material appears to be dark wood, giving it a polished and solid look.
