Birds & Tulips Paper Cutting Design

This is a framed piece of Scherenschnitte (German for "scissor cuts") folk art, a traditional form of paper cutting. The artwork features a symmetrical design of a tree with birds and tulips within a heart shape. This style of paper cutting is a rich heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community in the United States. The piece appears to be vintage and is signed with Nancy Winslow at the bottom of the design. It is a form of decorative art often used for valentines or home decor.
