Stupendous folk art carving is the type that stood in front of cigar stores at the turn of the century. Carved in the last several years by a South American Indian whose talent is obvious from the first glance. Standing nearly six feet tall, this Baltimore Oriole circa 1894 is depicted in his historically accurate prime. Superb coloring and detail, he holds baseball and stands with quiet grace and dignity. Unprecedented quality and striking size makes this perfect for indoors or out.
