OWL AND CROW TREEFrank S. Finney (b. 1947)
Capeville, VA, c. 1990
23 in. tall
To date, the two most highly-coveted carvings by this American folk legend have been related bird trees. This exceptional bird tree by Finney presents the storied relationship between a flock of crows and a great horned owl. The owl on top is flanked by fourteen dynamic and expressive crows carved in a number of positions. The base is finished with elaborate carving and decorative painting. The underside is incised with the maker's Spencerian script "F."
Original paint with light wear.
