Subject:silver bird on patinated bronze tree stump
Posted By: Alison Day Mon, May 01, 2017 IP: 82.14.214.171 I inherited this from my grandfather; I believe his brother brought it back from the Far East in the first half of the 20th century. I enclose a photograph of the maker's mark, and the front and rear view of the sculpture. I would appreciate any information about it. Thank you. |

Posted By: Alison Day Tue, May 02, 2017 It seems the scan of the maker's mark did not upload, so I am adding this to my earlier message. |
