Close-up of the canary which is carved on the top of the screen - an unusual subject.

Looking on the other photo at the size in comparison to the screen, there's a lot of detail put on the canary by the skilled carver, can see a seed or water pot has been broken off whilst the other pot still attached, superb detail to carving.
