A carved wood folk art figure in the shape of a mermaid, with the underside deeply incised with the image of an eagle over a shield with the date 1877. The mermaid is suspended from a newer chain and holds both of her hands aloft to hold the sign. She is coated with a heavy layer of brown weathered outdoor paint, and measuring approx. 28"L x 7-1/2"W x 15"H. She would probably have had a hand mirror in one hand and a comb in the other, or fish.
