Carved and Painted Seagull on Driftwood mended All the legs move back

All the legs move back and forth with ease

A perfect stocking stuffer for kids and cat lovers alike

and Frankenstein-like nails right above the ears (wrapped with thread)

I love a hand-drawn map

capturing the extraordinary  beauty and spirit of this exceptional Eskimo/Inuit carving

Carved and Painted Seagull on Driftwood mended All the legs move backOne sees a fair number of seagulls on driftwood when poking around the coast of Maine, but this one struck me as quite lovely and nicely done, and definitely with some age to it. The gull is carved of wood, with the wings made individually and inserted into recesses carved in the body. The legs are steel wire, inserted into the driftwood, holding the gull firmly in place. Nice aging to the paint, and I think it's good from 360 degrees. Appriox 7 1 4"
