Beautifully Humble Carved Folk Art Gull in Great Paint vintage hand-carved head but I would not carry

but I would not carry around things with much weight in it

perhaps toward another boat

heavy-weight serape

of walnut I believe

and  wire edging that shows a little rust

Beautifully Humble Carved Folk Art Gull in Great Paint vintage hand-carved head but I would not carryPure love for this gull humble but completely satisfying, with the roundedness of its yellow beak together with the soft yellow and gray and white finely alligatored paint of the body, making it feel quite singular and special. Plus two soft black dots for eyes and a bit of black detail at the tail. Lovely. Stands 5 3 8" t on base, which surely is newer than the carving. Bird itself is 4" tall measured on the square; 4 1 4" from top of head to tail
