Composite statuette of an ibis. The body is made of wood, coated with plaster and gilded paint, while the head, legs, and tail are in bronze. The wooden body may be modern or a reconstruction, whereas the bronze parts appear consistent with ancient iconography and production techniques. The head is finely detailed: the eyes feature inlays with a shiny, black material, and the beak is carefully modelled and curved downward. The neck is sinuous. The tail section, made of bronze, reproduces the feathers with incised detailing. The bronze legs are finely detailed. Two square-section tenons project down from each foot, one at the front and one at the back. The bronze elements are made in the lost-wax technique. The legs and tail are solid, while the head may be partially hollow.
