Description: | This small slit-legged bird was the artists original visualisation of the heron incarnation of 'Savacou', a deity in Carib mythology. It was the maquette for a much larger version, cast in concrete. Work made from the artists interest in Jamaica's pre - Colombian past. 'Savacou' was said to be the god who controlled thunder and strong winds, he became a bird and later a star. | Subjects: | Figurative Sculpture Mythical.
