Hoopoe bird
approx. 1200-1300
Asian Art Museum
San Francisco, United States
This hoopoe bird figure was broken and repaired at the neck. The crest, beak, and rear of the base are plaster replacements painted to match the original glaze. Other than this, the bird contains all its original parts and is historically correct.
