Old Wall Hanging Folk Art Painted Yellow Bird Cutout hand-colored engraving but I can't decipher

but I can't decipher

and then her great simply painted face

but I've photographed 72 of them as they make an even grid

but this does not detract from their charm

This carved and painted wooden mask--an early 20th century Mexican dance mask--feels so contemporary to me

Old Wall Hanging Folk Art Painted Yellow Bird Cutout hand-colored engraving but I can't decipherThe surface on this old bird is just terrific, with alligatoring the on paint in the wing and crest, and I really love that it was made to mount on the wall via two holes in the base. Really a nice one, which I might hang near a window to say hello to birds at the feeder (or to stare down the squirrels!) It works nicely set on a shelf, too. 9 5 8" t x 6: deep as mounted, 2" wide at base; wood of the bird is 1 2" inch thick. Very good conditon, c.
