1975 Walter & June Gottshall Schimmel Style PA Dutch Carved & Painted Wood Eagle

Description:   A beautiful carved wood and polychrome painted Eagle standing in a rectangular base. The carving is in the Wilhelm Schimmel style and depicts the eagle proudly standing with a golden head, a brown colored chest, and wings in the shape of a heart. The eagle's legs are yellow in color with its long talons being also yellow in color. The eagle is standing on what we would characterize as a rock that is rectangular in shape with a hump on top and is dark brown in color. The eagle's carving shows a lot of details such as carved eyes colored in black, a carved beak colored in yellow and brown, the carved wings on the back of the bird in the shape of a heart, and carved feather details in the tail of the bord. The bottom of the base is signed and dated "WJG 75" for Walter and June Gottshall 1975. Just a very well done piece of Pennsylvania German folk art worthy of a spot in your collection. Please carefully review the photos as they are part and parcel of our description.  Da
