Beaded Man, Mouth Open, Vintage Sculpted Clay Head yellow glazed nicely painterly

nicely painterly

Really jewel-like

but I love it--a carved marble

with a blank reverse to each drawings and in almost all cases a piece of tissue paper separating one drawing from the next

with all of the dividers in place and the slide top lid working fine

Beaded Man, Mouth Open, Vintage Sculpted Clay Head yellow glazed nicely painterlyQuite a lot of character packed into this guy through quite an expressive application and sculpting of lots of bits of clay. He makes me think of Ernest Hemingway in his later years, and feels a bit Zeus like too. With an pocket opening on the reverse, such that one could stuff him with matches or a little secret treasure or two! 4 1 2" t x 3 1 2" w x 3" d and in very good condition, no chips losses at all that I see, and some age to it for sure.
