Early 20th Century Self Taught Hand Carved Bird Figure
About the Item
Early 20th century self taught hand carved bird figure
We are proud to offer a wonderfully hand carved sculptural self-taught figure of a bird. This carving shows great craftsmanship in the detail of this figure, with glass eyes and in a position of catching its prey which is a small mouse. At the base of the figure there is an engraved letter B, likely to have been the initial of the carver we assume. The item is made from a single carved piece of wood. The item has a lovely aged patination across its surface and is very decorative and sculptural as you can see. This item was uncovered in Paris earlier this month and is untouched in form.
