Ultra Primitive 19th Century Carved Clothes Pin Form Doll with Expressive Face and Super Rich Patina alabaster carving with a screwed in hook

with a screwed in hook at top for hanging

but I'm glad they exist

then peering through the kaleidoscopic towers of rings and squares I'd constructed

Inside the box are two complete layers of blocks

Ultra Primitive 19th Century Carved Clothes Pin Form Doll with Expressive Face and Super Rich Patina alabaster carving with a screwed in hookThis wonderful little carved clothes pin form doll came out of the same collection as a a small carved pine figure and a carved dog also listed today a collection of folk objects carefully and thoughtfully built by a couple in Michigan over many years with tastes aligning very much with my own. I purchased them from an Ohio based dealer at the Rhinebeck show, and would have scooped up everything he had acquired from their collection if I could have.
