EINAR HANSEN DANISH WOODEN ART SCULPTURE FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION! HERE IS A HANDSOME, LIFE-SIZED WOODPECKER ON A LOG SCULPTURE/STATUE/FIGURINE. THIS VINTAGE ART PIECE WAS HAND CARVED AND HAND DECORATED WITH ATTENTION TO DETAIL. IT FEATURES A LIFE-SIZED WOODPECKER ON A LIFE-LIKE LOG. THIS LOG IS MOUNTED TO AN ALMOST SQUARE WOODEN BASE. THE WOODPECKER HAS GLASS OR PLASTIC EYES AND METAL FEET OR CLAWS. IT WAS CREATED IN DENMARK AROUND THE 1970’S BY THE DANISH ARTIST EINAR HANSEN. HIS INITIALS ARE HAND CARVED INTO THE BASE. THERE IS ALSO A STAMP BELOW THE E. INITIALS THAT SAYS “DENMARK”. IT WAS PART OF MY MOTHER’S BIRD COLLECTION. SHE LOVED TO TRAVEL AND TRAVELED THE WORLD COLLECTING BIRD ART. SHE WAS FOND OF EINAR HANSEN AND HIS WORK. SHE KNEW HIM PERSONALLY AND HAD SEVERAL OF HIS PIECES. THE TREE BRANCH AND BASE ARE DONE IN REALISTIC SHADES OF BROWN, BLACK AND AMBER. THE HAND PAINTED BIRD IS A COMBINATION OF BLACK, WHITE, RED AND A GOLDEN YELLOW. APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS: THE ENTIRE PIECE STANDS ABOUT 8 3/8 INCHES TALL (21 CENTIMETERS) IT IS 4.5 INCHES WIDE AT THE WIDEST POINT (11.5 CENTIMETERS) THE BASE IS ABOUT 3 3/8 INCHES X 3 1/8 INCHES (8.5 X 8 CENTIMETERS) THE WOODPECKER ITSELF IS JUST UNDER 6.5 INCHES TALL, FROM HEAD TO TAIL (16.5 CENTIMETERS) THIS IS A VERY DETAILED AND SPECIAL PIECE OF VINTAGE DANISH ART. IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE SERIOUS BIRD COLLECTOR OR WOODPECKER ENTHUSIAST! PLEASE REFER TO PICTURES AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE NOTE: WHEN TAKING PICTURES UP CLOSE, SOMETIMES THINGS APPEAR DIFFERENTLY THAN WHEN YOU SEE THEM IN PERSON. THIS IS CERTAINLY THE CASE WITH THE “BARK” ON THE TREE BRANCH OR LOG. THE BRANCH/LOG IS VERY WELL DONE AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE THE BIG BLOCHES OF COLOR THAT SHOW UP IN THE PHOTOS. IN PERSON, THIS BRANCH LOOKS MUCH MORE LIFE-LIKE THAN THE PHOTOS SUGGEST! FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. It’s simple: please just add all of the items. BUT DO NOT PAY FOR THEM AT THAT TIME.
