A very good early 17thc Oak carving from the cresting rail of a Wainscot Chair....what makes this carving very special is that the carving is of what looks like a Dodo bird, which of course is now extinct....the carving has great depth and really comes to life when it is hung with the bird perched upright.....very good colour & condition.
