Product Overview
The shorebird i belongs to TYART’s animal collection: bronze shorebird with upturned beak, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a hand-applied patina. At 480 × 150 × 430 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The branch is the backbone of the composition: it rises, kinks and levels in a single drawn line, with leaves or fruit placed to balance the bird’s weight. The bird itself is compact, with the head turned slightly to give the piece its life.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, the piece works as a quiet anchor in the room — close enough to touch, solid enough to stay put, and simple to care for with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Design Inspiration: Birds, Branches and Good News
Small birds carry big meanings: joy, spring, messages arriving, the promise that the garden is alive. The design respects the scale of the subject — fine legs, a neat head, feathers suggested rather than counted — and lets the branch give the composition its line.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
Every sculpture is hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method: a wax model is taken from the original master, encased in a ceramic shell, burnt out and replaced with molten bronze. The raw casting is cleaned, welded and refined entirely by hand before the patina is applied layer by layer and sealed. Because the patina is finished by hand, each piece varies slightly in tone and depth — a mark of genuine cast bronze rather than a sprayed imitation.
Leaves are burnished along their edges so they catch light when the piece is walked past — a small effect that makes the bronze feel alive.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do birds symbolize on a branch?
Good news and joy — in Chinese tradition birds arriving on a branch signal happy words on the way, and Western tradition reads the songbird as spring and homecoming. Fruiting branches add wishes of abundance. The subject suits studies, living rooms and entrances.
2. Is the bird fixed to the branch?
Yes. Bird, branch and leaves are cast and assembled as one sculpture; the joints are welded and dressed so the composition is a single piece that handles safely.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?
Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
