Wonderful Old Carved Beaver handwork but it's his terrific blue

but it's his terrific blue and red polka dotted paint job that immediately sold me

Early 20th century British and signed HS at lower right

with scattered toning/foxing to the board

Wonderful Old Carved Beaver handwork but it's his terrific blueHow not to love this little one? Small but wonderfully detailed all that intensively carved fur and those tiny little feet and crosshatched tail! Definitely an old carving, with a terrific dark dry wood patina. Very charming. 3 1 2" l x 1 1 2" t x 1 1 16" w and in very good condition. Late 19th early 20th c. I would guess.
