Charming Folk Art Perched Owl Doorstop folk sculpture all with balletic grace

all with balletic grace

with his other hand so perfectly poised it kills me

4" long x approx 3" in diameter--the size of a very large lemon

There is some paper inside the lid as cushioning for the glass

with a surprising pop of orange for the rail
