2 Carved Song Birds on a Wood Base, 1981

Price: 135

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

2 similarly carved wooden song birds mounted on a wood base. The carving is signed (illegible to me!) and dated 1981. The birds are not painted; one has its mouth open in song, the other does not. One bird (with the open mouth) is about 2 ¾” from beak to tail; the other, at 3”, is slightly longer. Both are about 1 ¾” high and are attached to the wooden base with metal leg/feet. Overall dimensions of the piece: 4 1/2" x 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" high. The wings are carved and the eyes painted on. The piece is signed on the base and dated 1981. Unfortunately, I cannot make out the signature. Excellent condition with no cracks, breaks, etc.; the bird with the closed-mouth has a tiny chip in its tail.
