This is a primitive style folk art sculpture of a Great Blue Heron. The bird is depicted in a naturalistic, downward-looking pose. The carving is finished with a textured surface and layered paint in shades of blue-gray, black, and white, with a long yellow beak. The figure is supported by two thin metal-rod legs mounted to a rectangular wooden base painted green. The construction and style are consistent with American folk art and decoy carving traditions. No maker's marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the sculpture or the base.
