The Parrot stands on a trunk of a tree? and the trunk is about 6 Inches Tall (this is included in the total size of 14-1/2 Inches and is part of the dark wood and is of one piece with the parrot. The additional part of the piece is a separate piece of lighter wood which is the true stand and that is 3/4 of an inch, which also is included in the 14-1/2 Inches.

Markings: The bottom piece has inscribed in capital letters INDIA. This is not really visible unless you really look for it or it is in the right light.
