Relief Carved Leaping Puppy bee carrier box I'm honestly not certain how

I'm honestly not certain how the wrinkled surface on these was achieved

not quite your usual sea moss sample

Homely and completely empathetic

pulled taut by sinew

or just a great looking little display

Relief Carved Leaping Puppy bee carrier box I'm honestly not certain howOne of a bunch of smallish animals of various sorts gathered at Brimfield, this one I really like for the energetic puppy ness of the carved spotted dog, suspended forever mid leap, mouth open and tail high. Carved in deep relief, stained and varnished, 1940s 50s or so, I would guess. 6 1 4 l x 2 5 8 t x 3 4" d. Very good condition. Stands up on its own, but a hook easily added for hanging.
