Boys and Birds, Antique Carved Oak Folk Art Frame, Original Glass and Backing Plate antique Baptist lessons seated and with hands claspedUpon walking into a favorite treasure trove in Cohoes, NY, this is the first thing I saw, sitting on the counter, just arrived that day and of course love at first sight for me with these boys and birds. Carved of oak I believe, with its original glass and wooden back, just waiting for a portrait of a beloved be it boy or bird or otherwise! Wonderfully distinctive faces, beautifully detailed hands, charming birds in profile perched at top and bottom
