Ma Hai Feng Limited Edition Osprey Sculpture

This is a highly detailed, hand-painted avian sculpture depicting an osprey or similar bird of prey perched upon a weathered, gnarled tree stump. The piece is crafted with meticulous attention to realism, capturing the texture of individual feathers across the wings and tail, as well as the specialized scales on the talons. The bird's plumage is rendered in shades of slate grey, charcoal, and white, with yellow accents around the piercing eyes. Based on the accompanying provenance card, this is model number 700 of a limited edition run of 1000 copies, signed by the carver Ma Hai Feng. The material appears to be a cold-cast resin or high-grade composite, expertly finished to mimic the appearance of hand-carved wood and realistic feathering. The base is an organic, vertical stump form with deep texturing and an earthy brown patina. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips or significant color fading, though some minor dust accumulation is noted in the deep crevices of the wings. This contemporary wildlife art piece reflects late 20th-century decorative styles and high-quality craftsmanship intended for serious collectors of bird life art and limited edition naturalistic sculptures.
