Help identifying this antique bird?

Could anyone tell me what type of bird this is and if you think it is Folk Art?
Thank you!

 

Pigeon?. No idea about the folk art bit. Come to think about it Ornithology isn't my strong point either.........

 

Could be a dove.

 

I would say pigeon or dove, as well.

Susan, can you post a shot of the whole item, as well as one of the bottom? Also, how big is it?

 

Columbidae < or > = Dove or pigeon

 

Which is the family for pigeons and doves.

 

Yes I can post pictures, but I’m not at home so I cannot tell you right now the measurements.

 

I think you are right thanks!

 

Is it carved wood or ceramic?

 

It is wood looks like and feels like hand carved.

 

Great word to use in a listing, too.

 

@Susan McCammon Is the 315A on the bottom white paint or did you highlight in Photoshop/Paint?

Does look hand done, but I hesitate to call it Folk Art.

 

No the number 315 and the letter A was on it in white paint when I bought it.

 

It is 13" inches tall and about 9" inches wide.

 

Would anyone like me to post additional close up pictures to get a better idea or view of this bird to help me identify it? I’m trying to get a description of it, but I’m not sure what to say besides it’s a wooden pigeon on a pedestal?

 

I have a figurine that is a parrot on a small pedestal. It is referred to as "Bird on Plinth".
