Small Carved Nude old Newbury crafters mouse left-ward leaningA humble little carving in many senses, but a pretty tender one I think, which makes me think the carver him or herself might have been a bit bashful about carving a nude. Mid 20th century or so I might guess, and unsigned. 4 1 2" t x 1 1 8" w x 1 1 4" d and in very good condition.
