Brass Impish Bearded Man Door Knocker shawl I'm a big fan of

I'm a big fan of old Sapolin products to begin with (they sold little bottles of gold paint for Japanning in terrific dome-lidded turned wooden boxes that I always grab when I find them)

this young man seems wonderfully at ease

with two carved and painted figures comprising the totem pole at one end (I believe an owl at the top

which included a fantastic collection of mid-century and contemporary ceramics from Japan

Brass Impish Bearded Man Door Knocker shawl I'm a big fan ofI'm not exactly sure the origins of this impish bearded character, who looks a bit Scandanavian to me, but certainly he makes a fun little door knocker, I believe intended for an interior door. Sure to keep unwanted visitors at bay! He's definitely got some years on him but is in great condition with a nice patina. 3 1 8" tall x 1 1 2" wide x 1" thick.
