In 2003–2004 excavations were carried out in advance of the first part of the Międzyrzecz ring road and investigations included a multicultural settlement site Międzyrzecz 10. One of the features (14, a recultivated extraction pit) yielded a fragmented clay figurine of a bird with a missing limb and a broken beak. The fragmentation makes the reconstruction of form impossible. It seems possible, however, that the ornithomorphic figurine from Międzyrzecz had a limb with a modelled base/foot, which allows for its interpretation as belonging to the most common group of individual representations of birds – type IV according to Bogusław Gediga. The figurine, light brownish in colour, was carefully formed from a high quality clay. Its surface was smoothed and polished. The ornament emphasises morphological features of a bird – feathers, the arrangement of wings and the tail. The find was ornamented with engraved wide fluting on the back, the lower part of the neck and tail, and with diagonal cuts, engraved lines on the wings, while the back was emphasised by short diagonal pinholes. The figurine was dated to the Late Bronze Age (V BA) – the beginning of the Iron Age (Hallstatt period), in accordance with the time when site 10 at Międzyrzecz was occupied by the Lusatian communities. It was also the time when ornithomorphic art became more common in the western province of the Lusatian culture. A representation of the bird is one of the most frequent motifs in the figurative art of the Lusatian culture. Most frequently figurative representations of birds were moulded from clay, very rarely were made of metal. Clay figurines of birds or their groups as well as ornithomorphic vessels were individual items, while metal representations usually constituted an additional ornamental element of other items. The classification of clay figurines, in general, is based on the form, and also a constructions of figural representations. It seems impossible to classify the figurines on the basis of the species criterion, as the anatomic features of the representations were largely schematic. Thus the division is between representations of birds constituting a decorative or symbolic element of various items and individual figurines. Figurines of individual birds definitely predominate among the ornithomorphic figural representations.
