A delightful collection of 4 hand-crafted folk-art birds perched on 2 pieces of natural fungus. The birds are made from sections of found tree sections and shaped into birds with metal pins at their base so can be removed and moved into different positions on the supporting fungus sections which can be mounted to a wall. Complete one-off examples and highly decorative.
