A metal bird statue stood against a tree in the forest that housed the Oregon Country Fair.

The metal bird statue stood erect and spread its wings wide.

The metal bird statue stood in a straw nest, at the base of which was a sign.

The sign, at the base of the metal bird sculpture, read:

Rising up of silken ashes
As sparks from which we came
Our sky is a circle
A never ending flame
Though darkness of night
Our fires
The same

A wooden and jeweled symbol was attached to the base of the metal bird's stand.
