And otherwise

I've long been admiring 19th century folk art mourning pictures in this manner

The painting and roughness of the clay surface make it feel even older

with nice aging to the white paint on the animals and a nice warm dry wood patina to the fences

one after the other

Vintage Articulated Green Toy Snake good box traps blueprint And otherwiseJust for fun. One sees there around from time to time, I think probably made in Japan 1950s 60s, but I do think the design is pretty brilliant, with the individually cast plaster composition connected via a cloth ribbon that runs the span of the snake and sticks out at the tail. A pretty good, perfectly imperfectly painted face too, with drippy red mouth and yellow around the black eye balls. 15 5 8" long and in very good condition.
