Pottery Lion with Great Mane for the academic but I think it is

but I think it is a small masterpiece

Naturally at home amid Mid-Century decor

This wonderful little turtle-shaped Coushatta hanging “effigy” basket is made of coiled Louisiana native pine needles sewn together with raffia

and certainly a great conversation piece anywhere

Pottery Lion with Great Mane for the academic but I think it isI love this little clay lion, from whiskers to tail. I purchased him from a fellow vendor at the Essex Exchange who is an artist and eclectic collector, and who taught for many years at Monserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. He is heavy, charming from every angle, great on a desk as as a paperweight or perched atop a pile of books or magazines. Great condition; 4. 5" tall x 3. 5" wide x 4" long.
