Painted Handmade Wooden Penguin with Long Nose horse in landscape I would guess it dates

I would guess it dates to the 1940s or 50s

I don't know the maker of this wonderful horse

executed in black ink on paper that I think was once much closer to white than it is today

I think it is truly an extraordinary object

I love this little clay lion

Painted Handmade Wooden Penguin with Long Nose horse in landscape I would guess it datesAnother sweet handmade wooden animal to add the the menagerie. I really love the painting on this skinny penguin, plus its disproportionately large head and ochre colored long nose and then those tiny little feet, upon which it balances perfectly. Pretty great, and signed on the underside of one foot, with what appears to read Nak Nik (or possibly Mak Mik!) Great vintage condition. 4 3 8" tall x 1 1 2" wide x 2 3 4" deep (at nose!)
