Black Head Sculpture with Gold Bird — Contemporary Table Art

This contemporary tabletop sculpture pairs minimalist form with a lyrical detail to create a quiet, evocative focal point. The main element is a matte-black reclining head—smooth, simplified features and gentle contours evoke rest and introspection—while a slender branch rises from the base and supports a small gilded bird that introduces warmth and narrative contrast. The black-and-gold palette creates dramatic visual tension: the monochrome head reads modern and meditative, while the gilded bird becomes a beacon of light, symbolizing thought, hope, or unexpected joy. Hand-finished and balanced for tabletop stability, the piece is sized for mantels, desks, entry consoles, and gallery pedestals.
