The scientific name for the glossy ibis derives from the Greek and Latin words for "sickle" due to the distinctive shape of the bill. This dramatic carving is signed by the maker with an incised "GIBIAN" on the bottom. A detailed carved bait fish can be fitted into the bird's open bill. Original paint with light wear.
