Poetic Old Jointed Cardboard Man with Beautiful Stains jig doill gentle and true

gentle and true

4 1/8” d

with no sign that it ever had a lid to function as a snuff box

Some ingrained dirt and age toning as pictured but really great condition

I really love the scalloped edges of the wrapped bark (a bit like the chip-carved edges of wood on a tramp art frame or box)

Poetic Old Jointed Cardboard Man with Beautiful Stains jig doill gentle and trueThis guy would be less interesting to me without the stains, but with them, especially those on his head, he is very full of life. Immediately reminding me of a Rodin watercolor nude when I spotted him, I think he'd be a beautiful thing to frame, and also would make a wonderful subject for a stop motion animation. 14 1 4" tall. Good condition, stained as evident, with general wear but sound and sturdy.
