Ivory-Painted Shorebird with Metal Wings
Austin, Texas
Carved and painted wood with hand-cut tin accents
An inventive blend of wood and tin, this folk art shorebird sculpture shows the ingenuity of early American carvers. The mellow yellow paint, rubbed smooth by time, contrasts beautifully with hand-cut galvanized wings that shimmer softly in the light. Both decorative decoy and small sculpture, it introduces warmth, texture, and craft to modern spaces—equally striking beside contemporary ceramics or natural wood.
