Just an absolute stunner folk art carving! Lovely size to this. Just about 19 inches in length. Can be displayed on a tabletop or you can fit a dowel rod into the prepared place if you wish to have it mounted on a stand. Just lovely grain and carving and hand-painted. Note the way the tail is fitted in. What do you call that… Expressive eyes to this wonderful creature. Obviously one of a kind and a wonderful addition to your nautical-themed decor / folk art decor! Truly a lovely showpiece. I only wish I knew who the artist/sculptor was.
