Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving folk art landscape I try to avoid buying

I try to avoid buying things larger than a 12x12x12 box will accommodate

with the bottom drawer divided into several compartments

imagining them being much in the midst of trying to reconcile themselves and their own desires with those of their parents and society

weighing in at a little over 3 pounds each

it reads as the form of a hand with fingers raised

Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving folk art landscape I try to avoid buyingAnother little carving, this one I presume unfinished, but I very much like him this way, with just a block of a body to match his straight ahead facing little carved head. Pine I believe, with a warm dry wood patina and warm presence. 5 1 8" t x 1 3 4" w x 1" d and in good condition, stands steady on its own.
