Good from every angle and really nice as part of a grouping with a few other linear sorts of things

Fabulous Old Painted Root Wood Leopard! (With Gnawed At Nose) canivet card the front ones on aThis! One of two leopards today, which alone mean it was a good week. And quite a singular thing this one, made of a piece of root wood, lending it this wonderfully snaking and twisting body. Something appears to have gnawed a bit at its snout at some point, resulting in some loss and roughness there, and the end of one leg shows a little loss too but what remains is so good and so full of life I don't much care! Terrific old paint, black spots
