| If anyone could suggest who this bird might be carved by, it has initials "MF" on base. It is a very tactile object and the lines are fab, would just love to know more ... |

| It looks like one of the Seri Indian ironwood sculptures. Is it wooden, but REALLY heavy? |

| It might be a seabird like a murre or guillemot - very sleek almost no tail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Murre I'd have to fondle the wood to tell if it's ironwood. Bu7t without a signature, it's impossible to say exactly what it is. |
