The bird has a long tail with carved wings and a red colored head. The bird is yellow in color with green wings having white highlights and the tail having red and green colored feathers. The bird's head has what one would characterize as painted push pin eyes (they are bulging) that are yellow with black centers. The base is made of several turned wood components with an acorn shaped top. There is a wooden rod extending from the top of the base into the bottom of the bird and the bird is looking up. The piece is unsigned and is not dated. This is a tall piece that is ~8 3\/4\" high. The piece is in good condition with no observable damage, but the bird turns on the wooden rod holding it to the base. It also moves up and down the rod, but did not come off it. A great piece of folk art to add to your collection. Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate: Unknown, but lost likely sometime in the 2000s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: Purchased at an estate auction in Southeastern Pennsylvania. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: The bird itself is ~5\" long, ~3 1\/4\" high, and is ~1 3\/4\" at its widest, with the base being ~3 1\/2\" in diameter and the entire piece being ~8 3\/4\" high.

The piece has no observable loss to the colors, but has a few minor scratches and some light dings to the surface. In addition, the peg mount is a bit loose and turns around within the body of the bird, but does not come out. The bird also moves up and down on the rod\/peg, but did not come off it. Be that as it may, this is a great looking unusual piece of folk art, which would make a nice addition to your collection.
