Eastern Great Lakes Bird Effigy Scoop

Circa: 1820
Size: 8 1/4"H x 7"D x 4 1/4"W
This is a great sculptural object! The overall form is unusual in the Woodlands effigy traditional, however the reductive resolve of the bird's head, neck handle and foot scoop are anything but the Woodlands aesthetic. Favorite detail: the thinly carved drape of the scoop's walls that feel like skin stretched over ligaments.

Condition: Excellent. Untouched, complex surface.

Price: SOLD
