Burkett’s rendering honors that mythology: sterling wings catch light with an almost iridescent shimmer, while the rich bronze body grounds the piece in something older, earthier, and deeply intentional. Natural patina tells the story of time. No two angles reveal the same piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a component. It is not a finding.
