Chihuahua Over Bed, Vintage Hand-tinted 8x10 Photo ornament study which I think may have

which I think may have lived within it for nearly 200 years

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

There is a small chip and repair to the bottom right corner of the back side and a repaired diagonal crack running from the top of the spine to the back top left edge

and I think this is a pretty iconic one

and also a 19th century tradition of carving and painting vertebrae to resemble John Wesley (1703-1791)

Chihuahua Over Bed, Vintage Hand-tinted 8x10 Photo ornament study which I think may haveKitschy and fun, but also rather poignant, with this lonely looking little dog real or a photo sculpture I am honestly not certain perched atop the headboard in seemingly perpetual wait of companionship! Somehow, to my eye at least, this manages to feel rather transcendent. 8" x 10," on matte photo paper, and in very good vintage condition
