作者沿用黃炳所創素胎刻毛及傳統石墨加點白釉裝飾羽毛，即所謂“珍珠”鷹。鷹目炯炯尋找獵物，左爪屈曲踏石，以承托整個身體，右爪支撐平衡。高低展開兩邊翅膀，栩栩如生，韻味十足。

The artist used the “hair carving” method which is known as the invention of master Huang Bing in late Qing. Traditionally, birds with graphite glaze application and white glazed dots on the feathers are named “pearl eagles”. The bird’s eyes are looking for prey, its left claw steps on the rock and supports the body while balancing with its right claw. The spread out wings infuse the ceramic with great vivacity.
