This fascinating carving has 2 carved wooden birds mounted on an old finial. The birds are similar but not identical and there is nice, subtle wing and head carving. The lower bird has raised wing tips and the upper bird appears to have been carved in 2 halves, which were then fastened together. Both are in their original surface, as is the finial, which shows good age. The birds probably date to the late 19th or early 20th century. The birds come off the metal rods easily and the rods themselves come out of the finial, making the package easy to ship. Both birds are about 6 1/4" from beak to tail, the finial is 6" high and the overall height is about 14". Very fine condition: no damage to the birds and the finial only shows some very thing and non-threatening age splits. The neat part about these birds is that you can swivel them on their rods to change position.
