Organized by type: Shorebird, Songbird, and Bird of Prey and arranged by size, these egg plates are richly produced from a multitude of stones, allowing for subtle variation of color not commonly found in many egg prints. Historical text documentation accompanies the plate. Size: 6.5in x 10in (16cm x 26cm)
