Painterly Large Perching Folk Art Parrot Scheurich ceramic jug with the clay body showingExcellent slightly gloopy paint on this old wooden parrot, which seems to once have perched on a metal rod but now even better I think balances nicely on the lip edge of a table or shelfor could certainly be hung. Great color and surface, and a drippy eye on one side, which makes that side my favorite! The wings actually do could move, but theyre unpainted underneath and I think really best left alone. In good structural shape and quite substantial,
