Soulful Little Carved Bald Man Bust antique tole box It appears this was cut

It appears this was cut down along the bottom from a larger bookplate

There is one small rim chip

more visible in photos than in person

This is the smaller of two abstract vintage watercolors I'm listing by the same unknown artist

with the color perfectly softened over time

Soulful Little Carved Bald Man Bust antique tole box It appears this was cutA wonderfully curious little carved bust, which came out of the same estate as the two faced jig doll and two black haired carved figures I am also listing. To me he looks one part toddler and one part old man and definitely as if a loner in the world, really rather existential feeling. Great little ears too. . 2 5 16" t x 3 4" w x 7 8" d and in very good old vintage condition, I'd guess 1920s 40s or so.
