    Classic 50s legs on that. I found this the other day and took a bad picture last night. It's a cameo that I swear has a familial resemblance to Monkey Jesus. Now would I get in trouble marketing it under that name....? 101_0052 (517x640).jpg

    I hope the person who carved this was quickly moved to another occupation. :eek:

    It wouldn't be bad if they'd gotten the nose right. But as it is...oh dear.

    I think that sewing box is 1930s or 40s. That whole Thonet style steam bent plywood and curved angles.

    I don't think it's the nose so much as the nose accompanied by the disproportionately small chin. The two together do look very odd.

    Both of those, but she looks hunchbacked as well, one shoulder much higher than the other, poor lass!
