Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving drawings of houses with some scratching and staining

with some scratching and staining to the slate

Certainly a strong cubist influence

and the brass pin to hold it closed is still in place

Made in West Germany (there is a stamp on the underside of the base)

and with the most phenomenal surface

Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving drawings of houses with some scratching and stainingAnother little carving, this one I presume unfinished, but I very much like him this way, with just a block of a body to match his straight ahead facing little carved head. Pine I believe, with a warm dry wood patina and warm presence. 5 1 8" t x 1 3 4" w x 1" d and in good condition, stands steady on its own.
