Nicely Done Folk Art Fish! horseback rider In addition to the alphabet

In addition to the alphabet

and collar and wonderful little bowtie

though its hand-stitched cloth-covered binding is holding tight

in which one might hide some tiny thing

with a little cracking to the hard rubber surfaces here and there

Nicely Done Folk Art Fish! horseback rider In addition to the alphabetThis looks like a lake trout to me, but I am not a fisherwoman, so please correct me if I'm wrong! It's a 13 inch er whatever the case, and nicely done but not at all fussy, with the two fins on the lower body carved separately and glued on. Seemed to me it'd be a nice one to hang in the kitchen, or perhaps near one's fishing gear as inspiration! 13 1 8" l x 4" t, with a hanger on the back. Very good condition, I'd guess mid 20th century or so.
