Bird

This bird is made from a folded Japanese oak leaf, following an origami concept, with no glue used. It is brown in colour with two little feet and a tail curled to touch the floor. This bird is only a few centimeters tall, and has stayed intact for over 15 years, even though it is made from a real leaf.
