Owl   Owl

Great 19th century carving of a full-sized owl.  15 1/2" tall, including base.  Wood is probably cedar, aged to a nice rich dark brown.  Legs and feet were carved separately and attached. Glass eyes.  Age split has been stabilized.  Found in northern N.Y. State.  Just a really nice example of early folk art. (BS-37)
