Old Jointed (and Flexible!) Folk Art Whirligig Man with Post pottery serving bowl the more attracted to theJust a fun and rather funny one, surely once part of a larger whirligig but I think pretty great just as he is. What I most like about him is that he is attached only at his feet, and so can be positioned all sorts of ways, including doing a backbend. And of course the position to the vertical post in relation to his body makes it seem a bit phallic erotic, too! 6 7 8" t x 5 1 8" w x 2 5 16" d. Structurally sound and sturdy.
