Hand Carved Wooden Brolga Crane Bird Sculpture Aboriginal Style Folk Art 9.5”

Hand-carved and hand-painted wooden bird sculpture featuring a tall, stylized crane or brolga form. The piece is finished in an Aboriginal Australian–style folk art design, with a cross-hatched wing pattern and earthy tones of ochre, black, white, and rust.

Carved from solid wood, this sculpture stands approximately 9.5 inches tall and has a nicely balanced, elongated silhouette. Visible brush strokes and surface texture reflect its handmade nature. The underside shows solid wood grain, further indicating hand carving.

Condition:

Good vintage condition overall. There is a small chip with minor paint loss at the very tip of the beak, visible upon close inspection and shown in photos. Light surface wear is present consistent with age and display. No cracks, repairs, or structural issues noted.
