Old Blue and White Carved Bird on Perch vintage folk art frog 5 1/2" t x 3Meant to be a parrot, or parakeet, I believe, which I fell in love with for its bright blue and white paint, and for the shape of its head and beak, with those big orange glass eyes seeming a bit awkwardly placed in relation and so making this creature feel a bit surreal and also as if keeping a keen eye on everything around it! With a perch made of two cut branches with bark still on them, which I think suits it perfectly. Feels like a personality
