Great use of white paint on the narrow bands of this pair

Super Folky Wooden Cutout Black Dog penmanship practice to my eye at leastNo way could I resist this puppy just my sort of awkward, and very empathetic. A really good face I think, especially his snout, and a little wood left unpainted at the center of his eyes to perfect effect. 8 1 8" t x 6 7 8" w and in good condition. There is a little roughness along the edge of the left ear; it doesn't look to me like any wood lost, just a little loss of the black paint.
