Lobster Claws Hand-carved Linoleum Print Block pre-columbian pottery 8 5/8" long x 2

8 5/8" long x 2 3/4" wide x 2 1/4" tall

I'd guess 1920-40s

but quite a wonderful

Lobster Claws Hand-carved Linoleum Print Block pre-columbian pottery 8 5/8" long x 2One could certainly ink and use this to print lobster claws all over the place, but I like it just as an object, with these carved claws, like an old carved doll hand I recently listed, feeling as if forever grasping for something! Perhaps a good one for marking hands off territory, too! Or for the kitchen, right above the silverware (and lobster cracking tools) drawer! 6" x 4" and in very good condition.
