Cute Vichtauer Hand Carved Wood Bird, Black Forest Folk Art, Austria, 1910s

About the Item

A beautiful cute little Austrian 20th century, carved wood bird, mounted on a wooden stand for hanging. The tradition of these in Austria called "Viechtauer" birds goes back to the early 19th century when unemployment was increasing in the alp regions and people began to carve toys and decoration pieces to survive their hard life. This is a beautiful folkart collectible to display at your wall in the hallway, house or Lodge. Found at an Estate sale in Vienna, Austria.
