This charming handcrafted piece features a stylized beaver silhouette cut from wood with beautifully visible grain and aged surface texture, mounted to an iron rod and pyramidal base for display.

The simple form and strong silhouette give this piece excellent rustic character, evoking early Canadian folk art and countryside craftsmanship. A fantastic decorative object for cabin decor, lodge interiors, primitive collections, or Canadiana displays.

The newer base complements the original vane nicely while allowing for stable tabletop presentation.

Shows expected age-related wear including surface scratches, scuffs, finish wear, oxidation to the iron components, and areas of paint loss consistent with age and use. Base appears to be a later addition. Overall displays beautifully with strong primitive character and patina. Please refer to the listing images for close-up photos of the item’s condition.
