The head, neck and body of the semi-naturalistic bird form an 'S shape'. The wings have been carefully moulded, while the facial features are stylistically rendered, with a pair of punched rings used for the eyes. The stem projects downwards from the underside of the swan and consists of a series of baluster mouldings, the diameter gradually increasing towards the disc-shaped base.Dimensions: 53.4mm high, 31.2mm wide, 8.1mm thick. Weight: 23.81g.
