    Recently picked this up at a local antique shop. My husband and I can not tell whether it is supposed to be a deer or bird?

      A bird - has a beak. :-)))) Looks like a stylized Puffin.

      Would a puffin have a red dot on the back of its head? And the "beak" piece is attached very awkwardly for a bird. I could see it being a floppy ear - with the other one pointing left. Candy, you could probably use it to administer a quasi-Rorschach test at parties :)

      I agree with Efesgirl, Rotate it 90 degrees to the right and I'd say it was a tufted puffin.
