Charming Folk Art Perched Owl Doorstop antique naive painting and pronounced nose

and pronounced nose

circa 1920s-40s

Three brown on yellow and two green on yellow in the set

While I can't say for certain that the painting dates to the same period

but a nice object to hold in one's hand and almost Brancusi-esque stood on one end
