Blaxter Bird

 

Bird sculpture carved in Blaxter sandstone

A simply styled bird sculpture carved in Blaxter sandstone.  The flowing curves of this bird give the impression it is stretching its neck and head upwards so it can see out above the long summer grasses.

Blaxter is a medium grained, honey/buff  coloured sandstone from a quarry near Otterburn in Northumberland.
