Description
Five standing figures cut from brown wood with broad, confident knife strokes. Each has a long face, a slab of a nose, heavy lids and a mouth turned firmly down. One wears a flat-topped cap, one has his chin on his chest, and the smallest peers out from behind the others. Bodies are left blocky, with the legs cut free and the feet planted on small bases.
The tool marks are all still there, which is most of the charm. The wood has darkened with handling and there are small chips at a few edges. They stand at different heights and look best as a crowd, so they are sold together as one lot. The film shows them from all sides.
Dock pickup in the South Loop.
