Description
2 1/4" x 2" Hardstone Popeyed Bust Birdstone. Berrien Co, MI (Niles). Undrilled. Ex-Wilbur Cunningham. Found by Steve Rizzo in 1899. Purchased by Cunningham a year later in 1900. Pictured in Birdstone Book (p441-B) and in the "King and his Court" (WW#5, p19). Featured on the back cover of the auction catalog. A small sliver of restoration was removed from the top of the base. Nicely made with large "pop-eyes". The slight lean of the head inclined Earl to comment that this Bird "peeked around the corner"
