This is an antique Victorian taxidermy of a raven portrayed as a priest. The bird is circa 1900 and has been fitted with horn rim glasses, a white cross, hands, a bible and a typical minister's hat. It is 17 inches tall.

We are not sure if this was a artist's folly or meant to be an symbolic work of art. It is a wonderful , very decorative, conversation piece. The hat has wear at the top and there is a bald spot on top of the birds' head. Otherwise, it is in very, very good condition.
