Carved and Painted Native American Whirligig Figure boy with dog 5 5/8" x 3 1/2"It's the carved head on this figure that really made me fall in love with him, with this wonderfully strong triangular nose, straight line for a mouth and deep set eyes mostly holding onto their original black and white paint. Certainly once paddles extended from his arms, which would spin in the wind, but I rather like the straight across line of his empty hands nowor one could stick other things through the holes at the end of his arms! 7 5 8" t x 5
