Haven't seen this name before. Garasoni? Gavasoni? This is Hebe, but your guy was no ornithologist.
You guys nailed it & didn't need me at all. Can't tell for sure, but may have been made in 2 molded pieces & assembled, & the mold may have been...

I remember you taught me some of this when you worked out the inscription on the back of the cameo of Alexei Olenin for me. I'll probably never...
