Black & Yellow Polychrome Painted Hand Carved Wood Bird Black Headed Grosbeak

Description: A beautiful hand carved wood and polychrome painted American Folk-Art decorative Figurine of a bird. The carving is of a bird, we believe it to be a Black Headed Grosbeak, standing on a small round brown colored base. Its legs are made of thin metal rods. The bird is carved from one piece of wood and shows carved details of the end of its wings, its eyes, its beak and tail. It is painted in black and yellow with the wings having white colored highlights. There is also white below the eyes and below the tail. The carving shows a very good facsimile of a black headed grosbeak bird. The bird is not signed or dated, but it was obviously made by an accomplished folk art carver. Just a wonderful and nicely done piece of American Folk Art to add to your folk art and Americana Collection.
