Title: Bird Face Post by: hotmill on October 05, 2012, 06:35:42 AM Hello there,
Can anybody help with this one please? Seems to have a birds face design on it. There are details on either side that look like feathers. No screw holes etc. for fitting to furniture but does seem to have a plate on the back which may have been used to mount the object onto something or hold a fastener. Can't figure out if the curve is natural or it has been bent that way at some point. 'Scuse the fingers on picture 3 ;D Thanks Title: Re: Bird Face Post by: hotmill on October 05, 2012, 06:37:06 AM Apologies, here are the other 2 pics.
