Beautifully Humble Carved Folk Art Gull in Great Paint vintage hand-carved head really prettyPure love for this gull humble but completely satisfying, with the roundedness of its yellow beak together with the soft yellow and gray and white finely alligatored paint of the body, making it feel quite singular and special. Plus two soft black dots for eyes and a bit of black detail at the tail. Lovely. Stands 5 3 8" t on base, which surely is newer than the carving. Bird itself is 4" tall measured on the square; 4 1 4" from top of head to tail
