South Indian Tinned Brass Parrot.
18th / 19th Century.
This cast brass bird is quite naturalistically modelled with vigorous incised detailing with, on its back a round blanket or saddle with cross-hatched decoration. Its chest and underside of the tail have drilled openings and it stands on a rectangular base with a circular hole for attachment.
The chest and tail holes may indicate its function as an oil container, although they may be a later alteration because the oil outlet on similar objects is usually cast as a projection with the body.
