    I found this at a local thrift store yesterday - my first thought was Edgar Allan Poe (but I can't remember which story has a bird) - this thing is something else!

    But I can't find a signature or mark anywhere - any thoughts on it?

    Is it hand carved?

    PS - It's pretty big - 18" x 11"

    It is a fun bird, but it has no similarity to Balinese carving. So if it is Bali made, it was made by an outsider who happened to be staying on Bali for a while.;)

    Pretty bad, but as the saying goes “there’s an ass for every chair”.

    I'll like it more if it sells for what I think it's worth (as opposed to what it's actually worth!) :)

    Does it look like a raven? Any other bird come to mind?
    To me it looks like something that would look down on you in a haunted house - or the Gestapo headquarters!
