The bird has his head upright with a closed hooked beak and small circular indentations for eyes. The body of the bird is defined with incised cross hatched and the wings are folded towards the back of the bird. One wing is tucked underneath the other and the feathers are defined with incised lines. On the flat pointed oval based of the mount is an asymmetrical slot which would have attached the mount onto something else.
