Sunbird Dragon Marionette Puppet
From The Menagerie collection soars the Sunbird—a dragon-bird hybrid whose ochre and golden scales shimmer with the warmth of desert sands and endless skies. Standing approximately 15cm in doll form or 50cm when hanging as a marionette, this one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece captures the mystique of mythical creatures where dragon meets avian grace.
Part of Sara's exploration beyond humanoid forms, The Menagerie celebrates the Animal Kingdom in all its glory—real and imagined. The Sunbird stands proudly alongside feathered avians, shaggy-furred beasties, and aquatic counterparts, each one a canvas for meticulous painting and sculptural detail.
The ochre palette evokes sun-baked earth, ancient amber, and the magic of flight itself. Every scale, wing membrane, and articulated joint has been hand-sculpted and assembled with care, making the Sunbird as much a kinetic sculpture as a puppet. The warm tones catch and hold the light, bringing this mythical creature to life with every movement.
Perfect for fantasy enthusiasts, Game of Thrones fans, or anyone who believes magic still exists in handmade things. The Sunbird doesn't just hang—this creature comes alive in your hands.
