Description
Ash Burl Bird Effigy Ladle with Coxcomb
Eastern Great Lakes Woodlands, second-half 18th century
The bowl is deep and full-bodied, the figure of the burl is vivid, and the effigy is quiet and elegant. The carving is interpreted in its entirety as a bird with a coxcomb and the handle and bowl as the bird's body.
Note the handles gentlely tapering concave surface. The old surface is very desireable with mellow old patina.
l. 8 in.
Literature: Illustrated and discussed in: Powers, Steven, S. North American Burl Treen: Colonial & Native American. Brooklyn, NY, 2005, p. 155.
