Feathered Bird Wall Art

This item is a framed feathered bird art piece, depicting two colorful birds perched on a tree branch against a dark, likely black, background. The artwork utilizes actual feathers to create the plumage of the birds, giving them a three-dimensional and tactile quality. The feathers are of various colors, including red, yellow, orange, white, and purple, arranged to form the bodies and long tails of the birds. The larger bird on the right has a prominent red crown, yellow and red chest, and a very long, flowing white feather tail. It also appears to have a decorative element around its neck, possibly a beaded or sequined collar. The smaller bird on the left exhibits shades of brown, orange, and yellow. The tree branch itself is painted in shades of brown, with prominent yellow-green leaves and small clusters of blue and red berries, suggesting a semi-realistic botanical setting. The overall dimensions appear to be consistent with a small to medium-sized wall hanging. The piece shows some signs of wear, particularly visible along the top edge of the board, which appears slightly frayed or damaged. There are also what look like small holes or hanging points at the top, indicating how it was likely displayed. The dark background shows some minor scuffs or dust accumulation but generally provides a good contrast for the vibrant birds. Given the style and use of natural materials like feathers, this piece likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, a period when such 'feather art' was a popular craft and decorative item. The craftsmanship, while appearing to be mass-produced or a common craft, demonstrates careful arrangement of feathers to create lifelike bird forms. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures discernible from the image.
