Wonderful Carved Marble Folk Art Dog with Very Sweet Face tagua nut and there is a signature

and there is a signature carved into one handle

with arrows that can be positioned to point straight up or due west

which is not surprising as it seems to me quite a useful thing

Altogether super clean and crisp and in great condition

and portraits of Washington are a great example--many many out there

Wonderful Carved Marble Folk Art Dog with Very Sweet Face tagua nut and there is a signatureSo many good valentines this week I think, including if ones valentine in their beloved animal companion! This wonderful folk art dog is hand carved of marble, late 19th early century I believe, with many of the sweet qualities of more frequently spotted carved marble lambs, but much more singular, and in my option, much more charming! Fabulous face and just fabulous, nose to tail. 6 3 4 x 2 1 4 x 4 5 8. Weighs 3 lb. 2 oz. Black felt well adhered on
