In addition to carving hundreds
of full size working decoys, Maynard Caine also spent much
of his time carving song birds such as this gorgeous Oriele.
The detail is incredible and my photos do not do justice.
Shown here is a 2-piece
solid wood handcarved and painted Oriele. The head was carved
separately from the body as evidenced by the thin joint line.
This bird has glass eyes,
and a wonderful character. The scale
is 100% life size and the colors are true to life. Extra carving
detail shows in the wings, tail feathers, and bill.
Measures 7-1/2" long,
tip to tip and the carving stands 6 " tall as shown
in the top photo. Absolutely mint condition.
