“What a Beautiful Piece!”

Viewing this in person revealed both its beauty and its intricacy, as against just seeing the photo online. I gave this to my sister who is bowled over by the beauty of the Bird of the Rio Grande. She now keeps it in a special; place in her living room where others can also enjoy it. Im very happy I bought such an exquisite gift!
