and a rope tail

Great old painted surface

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

Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving folk art landscape and a rope tailAnother 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.
