putting the flames out

What is pictured in the foreground, Arlene?

Guess that object?
It looks like a giant beetle that has been seared by the fire?

~it was another sculpture from rock,a bird I think, but I don't have another photo to say clearly what it is.

it looks a bit strange a bird type face but quite a thick leg , you will have to go back for another look Arlene LOL

~would love to!
