Miro's "Moonbird" is also called "The Lunar Bird." This is one of those pieces where art is truly in the eye of the beholder. Is the crescent top piece horns of a bull or is it a a lunar symbol? Is the center object a bird's tongue or is it phallic? Either way, it's up to your own interpretation. I see a bullish, moon-bird.
