Description

~Welcome to Mimi's Whimsy ~ VINTAGE ERNEST MUEHLMATT HARLEQUIN QUAIL HAND PAINTED 1982 FRANKLIN GALLERY
Very nice piece for display!
Artist: Ernest Muehlmatt (1927-2016) won many awards for his carvings.
Material is resin made to look like wood. This life-like bird is perched on a 6 1/2"L  X 5 "w stand from similar material.  This is hand painted by the artist for Franklin Gallery. No issues with the paint.
Measures approx. 5 3/4" tall x 8" wide x 5 1/2" deep
Heavy piece weighing 3 lbs 3 oz.
Noted that the right tail feather and left wing do not look symmetrical. I do not know if this was done intentially to mimic nature or if it chipped off.  There is no indication of chips (white showing) however I cannot be certain.  Felt on the bottom, while intact, looks wrinkled.
Item may be dusty.
