VTG Rare Lefton Green Bird Resplendent Quetzal Figurine 9 1/8”T 4”L

Description: This auction is for a tall Lefton porcelain bisque figurine perched on a tree stump, a rare find! This is simply referred to as a "Quetzal" in faint lettering on the bottom and on Google searches. I believe that this is a "Resplendent Quetzal," which is also the national bird of Guatamala. Its image is also featured on Guatamala's national flag and coat of arms. The Resplendent Quetzal is a bird in the "trogon" family. It is found from Chiapas, Mexico to western Panama. Well known for its colorful plumage of green and red, it is also sports a distinctive, extremely long tail and is considered one of the most beautiful birds in the world. The Resplendent Quetzal was an important figure in both Aztec and Mayan culture. They live in mountainous, tropical forests, dining on insects, lizards, fruit and seeds. During mating season, only y he male Quetzals grow twin tail feathers that can reach up to three feet in length. Marked on bottom w/Numbers, Lefton mark, quetzal, and handpainted. Measures approximately 9 1/8” tall by 4 1/8” long by 3” deep ....please look at him closely as he does have some imperfections/ age wear from being such a delicate porcelain bird! Repaired break at left wing that is very tight, broken edges on some of the leaves as seen in photos, small color variation/rough spot at right green part of wing….please look at photos and supersize them ti view details as they are part of description. This is a rare find. Even without the historical Central American background and prominance in Mesoamerican mythology, just imagine what a touch of tropical splendor he would bring to any room! A nice symbol of Mesoamerican culture, Guatemalan national spirit, endangered birds, and the wondrous beauty of tropical forests From a smoke free home. I took lots of photos so please enlarge them:) All items must be paid within 48 hours of auction end.
