Gordon Polison's 1947 Very Humble and Sweet Two Dogs Relief Carving paper bags Loss to wood just aboutThere's just a gentleness about this carving I really like. Feels like Gordon Polison, who signed his name to the back on April 17, 1947, felt a lot of love for these dogs. With one of them also looking kind of like a lamb. I'd guess a school project. A tender thing. 8 1 4" x 7" x 3 4" and in very good condition, light stain varnish over the wood, very simply wired on he back for hanging.
