The sculpture has a rounded, compact, and streamlined form, evoking a traditional artisanal style. The visible side features a painted design composed of abstract motifs and touches of brown, black, and blue, applied on a speckled beige base. The bird's eye is outlined in black, accentuating the naive expression typical of this artistic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic surface has a slightly granular texture, highlighted by matte finishes and subtle reflections on the painted lines. The main motif, visible on the flank and wing, consists of dots, curved lines, and splashes of color reminiscent of popular Mexican decorative traditions from the 1980s. No signature or mark is visible on the exposed side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe beak and eye are particularly expressive, rendered with intense black paint, contrasting with the overall light hue.
