Description

Jacque Day “Bird on Wood” — Mimbres Folk Art Acrylic on Beveled Wood Panel

Vibrant vintage folk art wall hanging by Jacque Day, titled “Bird on Wood” (#53). Hand-painted in acrylic on a beveled wood cabinet or door panel, the composition depicts a stylized bird enclosed within geometric and wave motifs, in earthy tones of turquoise, rust, cream, and black. The work draws strong influence from Mimbres iconography—an ancient Southwestern tradition noted for its symbolic animal imagery and rhythmic abstraction.

This piece embodies Jacque Day’s distinctive Southwestern aesthetic, echoing themes found in works such as Mostly Mimbres and Mimbres Gods. Likely produced circa the late 1990s to early 2000s (vintage label verso), it offers a striking blend of regional history and handcrafted artistry. Unsigned and unframed, ready for wall display.
