Hand Carved Painted Gold Finch Bird Signed by Ernest Muehlmatt 1969 Driftwood Outstanding carving by a renowned master carver. Vintage 1969 Hand Carved E.F. Muehlmatt Gold Finch mounted on a drift wood log. Mr. Muehlmatt is widely recognized and has his work in multiple museums. Signed on the bottom. This is one of his earlier works before he became incredibly popular. The piece measures 5.25" x 3.25" x 3". At somepoint someone must've dropped it and broke the tail. It has been repaired as you can see. It could be covered up better with a little tlc. Overall an outstanding piece. A must have for any collection! We have a few other carved birds in our store as well. Your item will be packed with care to assure safe delivery. Thanks for looking!
