This is a brightly colored, hand painted plaster sculpture with vibrant shades of orange, green and golden yellow. I believe that the body is plaster on wood, but unsure. It has bronze legs, feet, head and neck. It is from Egypt on the African continent from the 1960’s.
In ancient Egyptian society, the Sacred Ibis was worshiped as the God Thoth, the God of wisdom and writing. It was supposed to preserve the country from serpents and plagues. The birds were often mummified and buried with pharaohs.
