[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 4311603, member: 16407"]I found this carving at a dingy estate sale that had nothing else like it, and my first thought was that it was a fairly quickly-made tourist carving, perhaps made from a commercial board, perhaps from the 1950's-60's. But after having it sit around the house for a while, I'm feeling like it has more 'presence' than I first thought, and shows skill and proportion. Please share your thoughts about it. It's 10" tall, 3.5" across the back, and 4.25" at its widest (from the back to the tip of the snout). I think it's cedar, and don't know if it was stained or if it's just darkened over time. Thank you! [ATTACH=full]350963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350966[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350967[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
