Unusual vintage hand-carved wooden vulture/buzzard acquired from the estate of a longtime collector with an extensive collection of Southwestern and Native American pottery and artifacts. This carving was part of that estate collection.
Wonderful primitive hand-carved construction with exaggerated folded wings, lowered vulture-like head and heavily aged surface.
The piece is unsigned and its maker, age and cultural origin are unknown. The estate provenance and appearance suggest Southwestern/folk-art interest possibly Native American.
The unusual hunched vulture form also resembles vintage American “Worry Bird” imagery,
