Soulful Little Carved Bald Man Bust red stained scattered stains and age toningA wonderfully curious little carved bust, which came out of the same estate as the two faced jig doll and two black haired carved figures I am also listing. To me he looks one part toddler and one part old man and definitely as if a loner in the world, really rather existential feeling. Great little ears too. . 2 5 16" t x 3 4" w x 7 8" d and in very good old vintage condition, I'd guess 1920s 40s or so.
