A charming American folk art bird carving perched upon a shaped, brightly painted wooden base. The bird is rendered with a delicately lowered head, slender metal legs, and graphic black-and-gold wing decoration against a warm russet body. Its compact scale, beautifully aged surface, and distinctive attitude create a memorable piece of vernacular sculpture.
