We are delighted to offer this tabletop sculpture showcasing a pair of Avocet birds on a burl wood base, circa 1970; by California folk artist Jack Francis. It features remarkable hand carving and painting, and beautifully exhibits the essence of the long legs and tremendous beaks that distinguish the Avocet. This rare piece would fit nicely in a stylish beach house, or on display as a reminder of summer days in any house. It is in very good overall condition, save for a repair to the beak of the larger bird and a nick to the smaller one. The sculpture measures approximately 13.5″ high x 13.5″ diameter x 9.25 depth. It is signed on the base. Jack Francis, bird carver from Mt. Shasta, California; was active in the 1960’s and 1970’s. We ask that you carefully review the photos as they tell so much more than we can articulate; and that you zoom in for a closer look at any and all condition issues. As always, we thank you for taking a moment to consider this piece.
