Old Pine Carved Shy Looking Fellow 80s vintage it would particularly have beenA subtle carving, but a pretty great one I think, looking like a shy but friendly guy standing in the corner of the room, quietly smiling, and with big ears open! Carved of pine, with a nice play between the form and the grain of the wood. 8 1 16" t x 1 7 8" w x 1" d. Good condition, with a nice dry wood patina. Flat on the backside and unsigned. Needs to lean against something in order to stand.
