Vintage Hand-Carved Stone & Brass Ibis Bird Figurine – Egyptian

The Sacred Bird of Thoth, Rendered in Stone and Brass

Elongated, elegant, and steeped in ancient symbolism — this hand-carved stone ibis figurine is a striking piece of Egyptian Revival decorative art. The ibis, sacred bird of Thoth, god of wisdom and writing, has been venerated in Egyptian culture for millennia. Here, that reverence is given form in carved stone with brass inlay and accents, the matte texture of the stone contrasting beautifully with the warm metallic gleam of the detailing.

The stylised, elongated avian form is characteristic of ancient Egyptian artistic convention — abstracted yet immediately recognisable, commanding in its stillness. Hand-etched surface work adds depth and authenticity, while the piece stands freely without any additional support or installation.

At 208g and 15cm in length, it has a satisfying weight and presence — substantial enough to anchor a shelf or mantle, refined enough to sit within the most considered of interiors. A rare find for collectors of Egyptian Revival art, ancient mythology-inspired objects, or artisan sculpture.
