Small Eider with feathers

48. Folky quarter-sized eider drake from Cape Cod by the late noted bird carver Douglas Hopkins of Osterville, MA. Made of applied real feathers on wings and crest. This whimsical interpretation of this species is one of the first or possibly the very first carving made when Mr. Hopkins was just a child in the late 1940's. Lightly worn original paint with a few small dents and dings. Mr. Hopkins was severely injured in Vietnam and took to carving birds as a vocation shortly after returning to Cape Cod in the 1960's. 100-200
