Hand-carved with elongated proportions and a high curling tail (can be adjusted to a lower tail), the figure is full of character and charm. Its surface is finished in a whitewashed patina, with fine etched striations that suggest fur while allowing warm undertones of natural wood to show through. The stylized face, expressive and totemic, evokes both humor and spirit, blurring the line between animal figure and symbolic guardian. Resting firmly on four legs, the piece carries a sense of balance and quiet strength. Primitive yet modern in its simplicity, it makes an intriguing decorative object, equally at home as a collectible sculpture, an accent in a curated interior, or a conversation piece with whimsical appeal. In excellent condition and ready to be displayed for years to come. Please see all attached pictures.

With the tail raised, the overall height measures 34.25 inches. See less
