Summary
| Description |
English: The sculpture is one of four built for fountains in the Boston Public Garden. It was originally designed by Bashka Paeff in 1934. The original sculpture was subsequently stolen, and a recast made in 1977. The second cast was of poor quality and deteriorated rapidly. The bird has been stolen. As a result, a third cast was made in 1992 by Paul King Foundry, the bird modeled using photographs.
