Description
Exceptional relief carved plaque of a northern pike, circa 1930. One of three Peterson plaques in this sale that are associated with the Busy Bee Cafe in Cadillac, Michigan. Glass eye and a scooped out board with multi color, almost rainbow halo effect around the fish. Excellent multi colored and almost textured surface on side of the fish, with use of small spots of gold paint to give it an almost iridescent look. Peterson's metal strapping has been applied to the back of the board to keep it from warping. Measures 10" x 36" x 1.25".
