as well as pencil marks all over

Great spare form (this owl feels rather Brutalist to me in the best of ways)

Graceful, Gestural Whittled Form/Figure Mt. Moosilalauke souvenir as well as pencil marksJust a little thing, but I think it's so lovely, like a whittled abstraction of a long limbed modern dancer. I don't know anything of who made it or when, but I sure love the effect of the patch of bark left untouched, as if minimally clothing a figure who reaches out from center in every direction. 5 1 2" longest x 4" wide measured on the square. Very good condition.
