19th century I would guess

I find the interplay between the solid matte black and the translucent blue

I'm always on the hunt for good boxes

This is an antique carved and painted wooden Nandi-- the sacred bull calf

Baseball Player Hand-Carved and Signed Wooden Plaque counted thread 19th century I would guessSuch a charming carving! I assume this young baseball player in pin striped uniform and cap is none other than Arthur Robert himself, who signed the piece in the upper left corner. He certainly looks happy and eager holding his bat, and how can you beat those striped socks??!! I love to think that making this carving is the first thing young Arthur started in the year 1940; it is dated 1 1 40 at bottom right. A fabulous gift for the young and emerging
