A Folk Art Carving of a Snowy Owl Perched in Tree

Mason, Michigan, Early 20th Century

Height 13 1/4 inches.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Purchased at a country auction near Mason, Michigan. According to Moylan, the auctioneer indicated that these were carved by a Michigan artist by the name of LaVere. Census records from Michigan in the early 20th century suggest that this was a fairly common last name, variably spelled Lavere and Levere, although no one by this name appears to be recorded as an artist.
