This is a "one of a kind" piece, hand made in 1976, which has been painted by local artist Fran Masterson in 2005 with the "Noah's Ark" theme. As you can see, the Dove is holding an olive branch to indicate he found land so all on board enjoy a "new beginning." What nicer way to greet a brand new baby into the world?! This could also be used later in a family room to hold magazines, books, toys, etc, making it a perfect family treasure.
