Old Carved Figure with Tall Cap and Wonderful Profile spotted dog which strikes me every time

which strikes me every time I look at it

8 1/4" tall x 6 1/2" wide

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

Old Carved Figure with Tall Cap and Wonderful Profile spotted dog which strikes me every timeA 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
