Green water bird figure (Western Dearborn)

I bought this in an antique store in 2000 so it is an older piece. I don't think it is wood even though it looks like carved wood. Perhaps plaster of Paris or some kind of resin. It is lightweight and a little fragile due to skinny legs. I love the colors and how graceful it looks. It is 23 inches tall. It has a few nicks on it, but you will probably set it up high on a shelf and no one will notice them.
