The treatment of the inlaid woodcock and quail, but particularly the woodcock is a very distinct and perhaps almost unique approach to engraving, and the inlays' detail is wonderfully executed from what I can see on my screen. I think with a deep gray finish the inlays would be even more stunning. It is a very nice pattern and design and the gold line work also looks to be flawless. The woodcock is benefiting from some form of Escheresque visual depth perception illusion to make it fly out out of the floral plane, but I am not exactly quite seeing how it was achieved. I like it.
