Lovely Old Hand-carved Folk Art Blue Bird sentimental a little red and green

a little red and green paint on the rim

There is a looped thread on the back for hanging

which does show some surface wear

floppy ears I'd guess represents a hound of some sort

Beautifuly aged and in stable

Lovely Old Hand-carved Folk Art Blue Bird sentimental a little red and greenI found this one in Massachusetts yesterday and would imagine it originated in these parts, or perhaps Pennsylvania. Very sweetly done, with nice age to it, it looks to have stood on a small wooden post, the tip of which is still stuck in it. Somewhere along the way it lost the tip of its beak, which as I'm sure you know just makes it more endearing to me. 4 3 8" beak to tail x 1 1 4" w x 1 1 2" t and perches perfectly as it is.
