The group of sculptural works are crafted from exquisite natural specimens, and beautifully depict a flock of cockatoos. The group comprises three separate sculptures with five cockatoos, naturalistically crafted from delicate rose-quartz. The birds' beaks, head feathers and tails are carved in sodalite, which is a rich, royal blue mineral stone mottled with white, banded patches. The cockatoos all have silver feet, which are remarkably well-textured so as to resemble skin, and are perched onto large, naturalistic polycrystalline calcite specimen bases, which exhibit a striking luminous sheen.
Dimensions for the three sculptures are as follows:
Sculpture with three birds- Height 13cm, width 24cm, depth 12cm Sculpture with sitting bird- Height 11.5cm, width 11.5cm, depth 12cm Sculpture with bird with wings outstretched- Height 9.5cm, width 9.5cm, depth 7cm
