Description from the ebay page:

This unique hanging lamp features the Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo. The bird is made of bisque and measures about 17″ bent over from head to tail. She is hand cast, fired and then reshaped to fit this piece. This beautiful birdie is completely hand-painted and VERY LIFELIKE as she hangs on the chandelier looking down with her beak open. Her crest is completely raised in anticipation of who may walk below! She swings on a metal and glass “Art Deco” lamp. The lamp is 21″ high (without the chain), 15″ wide and is finished in antique gold. The pair of glass Art Deco shades are frosted and speckled with a pale opalescent pink and antique gold. There is an on/off button in the center of the lamp. The lamp does have a plug on it, so it can be plugged into a wall outlet (you will need an extension cord to do this). Or it can be wired into the ceiling. This lamp does NOT come with the chain. The piece is ONE OF A KIND and will NEVER BE DUPLICATED. It is signed and dated and is an original design and creation.
