For these birds sculptures Giambologna even
invented a special "impressionistic" technique in
wax to recreate the texture and image of their
plumage. This was then carefully and faithfully
translated by skillful casting into the final
bronze versions

Helen Boehm and E. M. Boehm Studios The Bird of
Peace, a porcelain statue of mute swans gifted by
Richard Nixon to The People's Republic of China
during his 1972 diplomatic visit to the country
36
The ''Birds of Peace'' sculpture one of three
copies made from master molds that were destroyed
in 1974. Vatican museum
37
The intricate and detailed sculpture of the pair
of mute swans took two years to create, and 10
tons of plaster were used to make the master
molds. Some 60,000 sculpted lines make up the
feathers of the swans. Mrs. Boehm stated that the
mute swans represent ''serenity and purity, a
bird that had been associated with peace
throughout history and in mythology.'' She
further noted, ''The mute swan's range is
worldwide it came to the shores of America
during the 19th century. Perhaps its most
important characteristic is that it speaks with a
soft voice.' Of the three pairs of porcelain
mute swan sculptures, one set remained at the
White House, one set was given to Mao Tse-Tung
during Nixon's historic 1972 visit to China, and
one set was auctioned by Sotheby's of London to
benefit the World Wildlife Fund. The swans were
purchased by an anonymous donor for 150,000 --
the highest price ever paid for a 20th-century
porcelain sculpture. The sculpture was
subsequently presented to Pope Paul VI by the
Archdiocese of New York
