Those familiar with his work will see similarities in the "crease" of the wing, the connection to the base and the subject matter, as well as material.
The brass has been lightly cleaned and polished recently, My opinion is that this is a one-off piece, but I cannot present this as anything other than my own opinion.
The bird turns in its base, and can become top-heavy and turn over in certain positions.

The wooden base is 4x4x6 See less
