and really love the patterning of the blonde and darker wood--product of a very labor intensive effort

I love its roughness and the darkness of the clay body

Wooden Letter Opener with Carved Head kitchen containers and really love the patterningMy favorite thing about this carved letter opener are the very finely done tiny ears! The whole thing is pretty great though, and I really like how the figure is executed as a bust, with especially nice profile views showing strong jawline and high cheekbones. The notch in the blade half way done is pretty great too. Very nice. 7 1 2" long x 3 4" wide x 9 16" deep. Very good vintage condition.
