This wooden quail pair is striking for their anatomy as well as paint detail. Each quail rests on natural wood which has been mounted on a beveled wooden base. This duo stands among the best Lawson upland carvings ever to come to market. Each base is signed and dated by the maker. Excellent original paint with minimal wear.
