[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 1793299, member: 14066"]I do know that tile appears in Jorge Selaron's work "Selaron Staircase" in Rio de Janeiro. Over time as he continued to work on the staircase, he received ceramic tiles as a gift from travelers from all over the world and eventually began incorporating them into the staircase. One of which being your bird tile (Top Left one). Here is a link to a bit of background behind the staircase artwork of his, and if you scroll down, you will come across your bird tile there. [URL]https://freewalkertours.com/selaron-staircase/[/URL] Jorge Selaron did not paint your tile, but did immortalise it, in his artwork. Looking at your birds in the tiles, I'd say they are in the Corvidae family, such as crows, or ravens. So yes, the hooded crow looks the same to me also. Sorry I couldn't actually be of any help towards actually identifying their maker.[/QUOTE]
