This is a vintage Mexican folk art feathercraft picture. The artwork is created using real bird feathers for the bird itself, while the flowers and branches are hand-painted on a light background. Featherwork, or plumería, is an ancient artistic technique in Mexico, highly prized in both pre-Hispanic and colonial periods. This style of framed feather art was particularly popular as tourist art in the mid-20th century, often dating from the 1940s and 1950s. The piece is enclosed in a distressed white and gold-toned wooden frame. Measures 6” x 7”.
