Willem Klijn Pencil Drawing of Man in Hat and Glasses, 1910, Brussels wooden bird I am not certain of

I am not certain of the maker but believe it to be Scandanavian

and I believe dates to the 1950s or so

it would be easy to tie a string or ribbon around the end and hang it from the wall just to admire it
