The image showcases an exquisite example of Art Deco architectural relief carved in stone. The central element of the composition is a diamond-shaped frame containing a skillfully carved bird (possibly a pheasant or peacock) with a long tail, surrounded by stylized plant motifs. The detailed rendering of the bird's plumage demonstrates the stone carver's exceptional craftsmanship.
Flanking the central diamond are symmetrical decorative elements, including stylized birds with circular tails (possibly peacocks), as well as geometric and botanical ornaments. The entire composition is framed by straight lines, creating a clear structure. The background of the relief is adorned with diagonal lines resembling wheat stalks or leaves, adding textural contrast to the main elements.
The relief exemplifies Art Deco principles of stylized natural forms, geometrization, and symmetry. The subtle play of light and shadow across the various levels of carving creates an expressive visual effect, emphasizing the details of the composition. This architectural element likely forms part of the decorative scheme on the facade of a building constructed in the 1920-30s, when the Art Deco style was particularly popular.
