BLACK RAVEN CROW W/ Pebble Art Sculpture Signed Round Sculpture.

Description

This is an art sculpture of a black Raven / Crow with a white pebble in his mouth. It is round in shape. It is signed and dated 2007 on the bottom. I cannot make out the signature on the bottom. I purchased it from a woman's estate. She traveled to Santa Fe, NM. I believe she purchased it there. It stands 4" tall and it is 5" across. This is the story of the raven / crow and the pebble.
The story concerns a thirsty
crow
that comes upon a
pitcher
with water at the bottom, beyond the reach of its
beak
. After failing to push it over, the bird drops in pebbles one by one until the water rises to the top of the pitcher, allowing it to drink. In his telling, Avianus follows it with a
moral
that emphasizes the
virtue
of ingenuity: "This fable shows us that thoughtfulness is superior to brute strength." Other tellers of the story stress the crow's persistence.
