Standing on the shore, a duck tilts her head as if looking for her brood. Her feathers are a beautiful display of gemstones selected by Cesar Gonzales. Cutting each stone with expert mastery, Gonzales details the body and wings of brown aragonite. White onyx forms the head, sodalite and jasper the beak. The chest is carved of attractive angelite and the removable webbed feet crafted of bronze. Gonzales finishes the sculpture with serpentine accents.
