Reconstituted Heron or Crane Sculpture, French 1950s–60s Art while the dark green base

while the dark green base recalls mossed plinths and shaded borders

adding elegance to the delightful hue

a small but enduring presence shaped as much by time as by hand

The gathered stems create movement and reflect light
