but I think it is absolutely fantastic

If I encountered this sign in the wild

a brilliant secret hiding place

Old Black and White Wooden Cutout Cat wooden finial and a useful box tooIt's the face that really makes this kindly and curious looking cat for me, though the arched back, raised tail are pretty great too! Plus a fantastic surface to the old, aged paint. And on the reverse side, a solid black shadow version of itself, with a barley there face in orange! Really good. 8 1 4" t x 7" w x 1 2" thick. Very good condition. Minor paint loss a little along the side of the left ear and interior of the right ear; a few little nicks
