Heron or brass wader bird

Nice stylized brass heron, it is slender, airy, finely worked. It is stable, well balanced. It was not polite, to keep the charming patina that brass takes over time. It must date from years 70...et does not hide its age: scratches and spots (some at the welding of the wings are probably original), corrosion on the base (blue on the brass, and rust under the base because the screws are not brass.). It measures 16 cm in height, 22 cm in wingspan, 18 cm in "deep." it weighs 321 g.
