Bottle Shaped Architectural Carved Pine Whimsy with Crown Top parlour games 'Vogan' shows some old presence

'Vogan' shows some old presence in Northwest Pennsylvania and possibly the Southern tier of New York state where this drawing was found

or to sit up if leaned lightly against something or given a pedestal

1940s I believe--just around the time that Haitian art emerged on the international art scene

Perhaps it lost one tiny one along the way

Bottle Shaped Architectural Carved Pine Whimsy with Crown Top parlour games 'Vogan' shows some old presenceFound together with a second whimsy just listed, and I presume by the same maker. This one has no moving parts, but I have a special love for "architectural" sorts of whimsies like this, and this one seems almost as if it should exist inside of a bottle, with that excellent crown like top poking out as a stopper and so it invokes a nice presence absence sort of dynamic. Stands on its own, with a nice warm dry wood patina, pine I believe. 8 3 4" x 1 3
