The artist has done a marvelous job of carving and highlighting these beautiful birds thus giving them a real life like quality.  Please note the detail the artist has bestowed upon each of the birds (their realistic faces and flowing tail feathers) and the branches upon which they rest.  A real tribute to our fine feathered friends! They weigh over two pounds and each stands a proud 12" tall without the stand.  Each comes with its own custom wooden stand.   These would make a fine addition to your collection of Asian ivory art or ornithological collectibles and should only increase in value over time.
