Wonderfully Done Diminutive Folk Carving of Pair of Dachshunds (2 Inches!) architectural model to my eye add upThis is really quite a marvelous carving, especially for the fact that it is only two inches long, which makes the level of detail (note the collar on the one at right) and carver's capacity to so well capture the likenesses of this pair of dachshunds pretty remarkable. And one has the sense that this pair of pups was sitting right at that carver's feet as they did! Quite a charming pair. 2" l x 1 3 4" w x 1 7 8" t. Excellent condition, with good age
