Lovely Small Carved Swan with Rotating Neck Signed darning sampler definitely Art Deco influenced graphicIt is particularly the very elongated, undulating form of this swan's head and beak that really makes it special to me, giving it a sense of kinship with my favorite root head decoys.

Signed MW on the underside, which has not lead me to its maker, but whoever it was certainly knew what they were doing. Lovely. 6 3 4" l x 4 1 4" t x 3 5
