Designed by Gabriella Crespi between 1970 and 1974, this sculpture of an Ostrich belongs to her whimsical Small Animals series— a celebration of nature rendered through precious materials and refined forms. The piece combines silvered bronze with a luminous hand-blown glass egg delicately nestled within its body.
