Indian Cuckoo 61/10 Vase

The art of Henna—called mehndi in Hindi and Urdu—has been practiced in Pakistan, India, Africa, and the Middle East for over 5000 years. Leaving a temporary reddish-orange stain on the skin, Henna is used to decorate skin for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays in the joyous gathering of people. Kerry created a cuckoo bird, a sacred Indian bird, and used the Indian mehndi paisley style patterns to decorate the bird and then fused the design with Arts and Crafts florals against a traditional Moorcroft midnight ground. As bright flashes of bright-orange and paisley adorn the usually muted colours of the bird, it brings home the very fact that cuckoos can lay eggs of many different colours and patterns.
