SOLD What is Home Without a Mother, Large Hand-drawn Spencerian Calligraphy folk art stag this old hand-carved spoonCertainly the perfect gift for any mother! Better in person, where one can appreciate the detail, this is all hand done, ink and watercolor on heavyweight paper, late 19th c. I believe. Due to the scale, one actually needs a bit of distance from it to read the message, but much of the beauty and delight is in the details, which somehow seems appropriate in speaking to the nature of a mother! Beautifully done. 21 1 4" x 8 3 4" and in good condition,
