The bird is sitting on a naturally rounded stone, looking upwards with its peek towards the sky. The sculpture has a brass shine, by brushing brass ontot the hot surface.\r\n\r\nThe form is an alternative to the well-known king cormorant sculpture, that is a "signiture" product from the Blacksmith in Sund, and is one of the oldest hand crafted memorabilia still in producation from Lofoten.\r\n\r\nThat version is very like the famous cormorant sculpture, King Olav V. recieved in 1963 from the previous blachsmiht of Sund.
