Genuine Vintage/Antique Wood Sculptures and Statues from PNG are some of the most sought after pieces from collectors worldwide due to the artistic features, significance and variety. I’ve seen several hornbills and other birds but I do believe the rooster or Guinea fowl features in a sculpture is a rarity. This is a great addition for any collector of PNG sculptures and statues and a fantastic/unique decor piece for any setting. Item will be packed and shipped with care; see my account for more unique items.
