Abstracted Figure(s), Modernist Mid Century Carved Sculpture antique chalkboard )) black and white cat

)) black and white cat is one of those

I believe it is as a result of that the painting on the exterior does not line up when the threaded egg is closed fully tight

Scuffs and scattered paint loss all over as well as soil stains to the pointy tips

which I don't think detract one bit

as if they are old friends and this happens everyday

Abstracted Figure(s), Modernist Mid Century Carved Sculpture antique chalkboard )) black and white catThis carving, which I purchased from a mostly mid century dealer with a really nice eye, just struck me with every turn it seems just about to resolve into something, like a pair of embracing figures, or a figure carrying a child, but it never quite does and so feels perpetually elusive and dynamic. From a few angles it also really appears as if there are the features of a face, or two, trapped just below the surface, waiting to emerge! 9 1 2 t x 3 3
