Very Naive Little Carved Man with Blue Coat and Black Beard slag glass I assume the rope wrapped

I assume the rope wrapped around it was indeed once used to keep it from venturing too far away when floated in a pond or lake--and it does appear as if it may have seen some choppy waters

Marvelously eerie

Very Naive Little Carved Man with Blue Coat and Black Beard slag glass I assume the rope wrappedIt was a week of little things, even more so than usual, including this little carved man, found at an antique show in Boxborough, MA. Perhaps he lost his family along with way and now finds himself alone and untethered, feeling to me rather like a character from Beckett. 2 15 16" t x 5 8" w. Good condition, no losses, crudely carved and painted (which is much of why love him), black marker and watercolor on wood.
