LARGE PORCELAIN FIGURINE OF A GREAT MACAW DECENDING A TREE.
Meissen. 1978. Model J.J. Kaendler.

Porcelain; white. 'Raven of native Indian type' climbing down a tree trunk. Kaendler models a perfect moment
in time; depicting the large parrot in a typical; natural pose. Beginning from the tip of

curve of the slightly opened wings as well as the course of the vividly sculptured

from each angle. Height 107.5cm.
