Old Carved Figure with Tall Cap and Wonderful Profile spotted dog I believe it is carved

I believe it is carved of burl wood and is a gorgeous warm honey color (possibly maple)

Then some blank pages and THEN this amazing section of physics notes

I think with rubber skins

I am not quite certain if the small curves on the interior edge of the handle were intentionally made or not

Old Carved Figure with Tall Cap and Wonderful Profile spotted dog I believe it is carvedA wonderful and very expressive carved figure I think, who I take for a man of the woods in many senses! Theres quite a primitive elegance to him I think, and a bit of surface splitting that makes it appear even as if hes got a cloak drawn around him which to me makes also makes him feel a bit French! (From one angle, with face in profile, he actually reminds me a bit of Punch from Punch and Judy, and also a bit of Napolean!) Fantastic dry wood
