Crane Pair in Flight - Metalwork - Sculptures




- Wildlife Series -


Two graceful cranes are shown amid flight through massive cattails in this elegant work. Varying shades of green, yellow, black, and grey present this as a realistic setting in which someone might spot a crane in the wild.


The crane is a large wading bird found in marshes in the Northern Hemisphere and in Africa. Although sometimes confused with herons, cranes are more closely related to rails and limpkins. Cranes are known for their loud trumpeting call that can be heard for miles and for the rhythmic, jumping dances both males and females perform during mating season.
