Glass Dome

The plinth is fitted with a tall glass dome of cover and project the fragile glass module_collections_objects inside.

On either side two trees and two exotic birds with spun glass tails in brown and white with opaque white bodies, green wings red cresting, black beaks and eyes, which are also the colours used on the others.
