Vintage hand-carved natural horn bird sculpture, approximately 11" tall and 8" long, with an oval base measuring roughly 2" x 3".
The bird has a graceful heron/crane-like form with especially nice handmade detailing, including:
- Deeply textured carved wings
- Long sculpted beak and flowing tail
- Small rhinestone / glass eyes
- Natural translucent variation and striation throughout the horn
- Hollow sculptural base that can also accommodate a small candle
One photo shows the piece held up to a light to highlight the natural translucency and internal variation of the horn material. Exact horn species is unknown.
The hollow base works nicely as a small candle holder. A candle approximately 1.5" in diameter and under 3" tall would fit more comfortably than the larger 2" candle shown in the photos. Candle shown is for display only and is not included.
Approximate measurements:
- Height: 11"
- Length: 8"
- Base: 2" x 3" oval
Unbranded and unsigned. Vintage, handmade folk art with a natural organic finish and strong sculptural presence.
A distinctive decorative piece for collectors of carved horn art, folk art, bird figures, herons, cranes, natural-material sculpture, bohemian decor, or unusual vintage objects.
