About the Item

A beautiful Austrian early 20th century, carved wood, polychrome painted, wire feet, wooden base in nest shape naturalistically covered with dirt, slightly crumbled, parents with two young. 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.
