maybe captured just as he has landed

I believe a mask like this one would have been used in initiation rituals

The underside of the drawers on this one are indeed orange

Frame itself 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 3/4" d

Naive Graphite Drawing of Barn, Signed Mel Crabtree 38 Years Old for the salon maybe captured just as heIt rather surprised me to turn this drawing over to find that it was done by a Mel Crabtree at the age of 38, or at least that is how I read it which makes me think perhaps the drawing was done to commemorate the construction of this barn, though I don't know for sure. In any case, quite a sweet barn, and a sweet drawing, with every beam and shingle and latch attended to, and nary an inch of paper wasted. 5 11 16" x 3 3 4. Very good antique condition,
