Fabulous Carved and Painted Wooden Sculpture of Seal or Sea Lion Balancing Ball vintage planter It makes me think of

It makes me think of an illustration in a French or Spanish text book used for teaching vocabulary

The earrings are in very good used condition

I love the brightness of these woven Peruvian textiles

This wonderful reverse painting on glass

I think all three are just exquisitely beautiful objects to look at and live with

Fabulous Carved and Painted Wooden Sculpture of Seal or Sea Lion Balancing Ball vintage planter It makes me think ofI found this painted wood sculpture of a seal or sea lion balancing a ball at the estate sale of an artist, architect and MIT librarian and fell in love with it at once. I know nothing of its origins, and it is unsigned, but I think it is absolutely fantastic! Carved from what looks to be one piece of wood, its body is painted a deep teal green animated with thousands of tiny dots in yellow, pink, purple, white and a lighter green. And then that face!
