Poetic Artist Made Large Painted Papier Mache Face New York transit authority 1 3/8" across at opening

1 3/8" across at opening and 2 3/4" across at base

It measures 6" long x 2 1/4" wide x 1 3/4" tall and is good vintage condition

There are a few unruly bristles but the head of the brush is very full and it is in overall very good condition

I'd guess this old cutout wooden stork head was once attached to a body and lived in a yard or garden somewhere

with carved reamer and turned handle terminating in a great fat rounded end

Poetic Artist Made Large Painted Papier Mache Face New York transit authority 1 3/8" across at openingI found this at Brimfield and know it came out of an artists' estate, but I am not sure the name of the artist. Such a wonderfully expressive face, I'd be inclined to give a name to this guy and talk to him like friend (or therapist!) C. 1960s 70s I believe, painted papier mache, strung for hanging. 13" x 8 5 8" and in good condition, with a couple of small dings as documented.
