Mid-Century Teak Boy and Girl Figures black and white bird it is composed of matchsticks:I especially love the hats and feet of this mid century boy and girl, and the fact that she is the taller of the two. I am not sure the maker of this pair as I have not found their exact match, but they are done in the manner of Jacob Jensen (Denmark), best known for his viking figures, and I am pretty certain they are Scandinavian. Found at a fantastic estate sale loaded with mid century ceramics and other wonderful objects from around the world,
