  • VERY interesting! Is it a bird stone?

    Hello all. This is my first post and am starting out in this amazing hobby! I’m looking to buy this item in a couple weeks and am curious to what it is. I know the photos aren’t the best. Lol. Any thoughts and comments are very much appreciated. Thank you!

    The tag on the bottom looks like a Canadian government sticker that verifies that it is a hand carved item by one of various NA tribes in Canada. It is hard to tell for sure cause of the blur. Age is indeterminate at this point. Could be an animal fetish. It is believed the power & spirit of the animal lives in the fetish. I am not an expert , but many on this site are & they will be better able to expound correctly.

      It appears to be some kind of bird made of stone, but it looks more like something made for a souvenir shop than a Native American artifact. Is that smoke coming from the center of it?

      If the women don\'t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

        It was probably made for tourist trade by Canadian NA.

                what does the sticker say, just out of curiosity? Just from what I can tell I would say it's not ancient.

                  I thought some kind of decoy but its not old. I wouldn't buy it unless you collect that type of stuff
