) of Chama

I like the idea of this antique souvenir being used to mark places for future journeys in a giant world atlas

teeth bared

surely done either by a teacher or a graduate

which look like energetic scribbled line drawings--this doghouse the very best example of that among them

Old, Much Patinated Plaster Hand Mold antique card game ) of ChamaI have no idea the maker behind this plaster mold, but it's certainly a handmade one, and appears quite an old one, too, perhaps made for casting hands for dolls or puppets, but maybe the work of a sculptor. Richly patinated and wonderfully crusty whatever the case, and just an excellent object, which stands on its own, hand raised, on a flat surface. 6" x 3 1 8" x 1 1 4". Good much used condition, rich and crusty patina.
