Eli Frederick Moses' eye

I love a resonant merger of medium and message

to my eye add up to a really evocative composition--which feels cinematic (including a bit Hitchcock-ian) and psychologically charged

Wonderfully Done Diminutive Folk Carving of Pair of Dachshunds (2 Inches!) architectural model Eli Frederick Moses' eyeThis is really quite a marvelous carving, especially for the fact that it is only two inches long, which makes the level of detail (note the collar on the one at right) and carver's capacity to so well capture the likenesses of this pair of dachshunds pretty remarkable. And one has the sense that this pair of pups was sitting right at that carver's feet as they did! Quite a charming pair. 2" l x 1 3 4" w x 1 7 8" t. Excellent condition, with good age
