Antique Hand-Carved Wooden Bird Figurine | Primitive Folk Art Miniature

Small hand-carved wooden bird figurine with wonderful primitive folk art character. Carved from a single piece of solid wood, this miniature bird shows age-appropriate wear, surface cracking, and tool marks consistent with early hand craftsmanship.
The form is simple and charming, with a stylized body and tail perched on a small base. The patina is deep and dry, suggesting significant age rather than a modern reproduction. No paint detected—natural aged wood throughout.
This type of piece was often used as:
A folk art shelf or mantle figure
A toy or whittled keepsake
A decorative accent in early homes
Exact age is unknown, but construction, wear, and style suggest 19th century to early 20th century primitive origin.
Condition:
Good antique condition. Visible cracks, wear, and surface texture consistent with age. No repairs noted.
Approximate Size:
About 2 inches long (see ruler photos for scale)
A lovely piece for primitive, early American, farmhouse, or folk art collectors.
