Male Cardinal on Dogwood

$157.00

The vivid red color of the male cardinal comes from carotenoid pigments found in red fruits. Eating scarlet-hued berries helps male cardinals form brighter red feathers. The flashy color boosts the bird’s ability to attract a mate and his nesting territory.

This cardinal wall sculpture is crafted using pulverized glass fused onto solid copper for a sleek and saturated final texture, and shows off the delicate form and rich, vibrant red coloring of the male cardinal. 

Known for their work with glass enamel on copper, Bovano of Cheshire is world-renowned for their stunning wildlife and nature wall sculptures that blend modern, skilled craftsmanship with natural inspiration.
