Carved and Painted Native American Whirligig Figure optical art but i'd just leave it

but i'd just leave it alone

and a couple of chips to the lacquer--one to the left of the rear hinge

but I love the drawings of these two little girls and dog with tongue hanging out of its mouth so much

Nice rusty surface and nice lines

were once displayed as wall ornaments: I carefully peeled some old adhesive off of their backs

Carved and Painted Native American Whirligig Figure optical art but i'd just leave itIt's the carved head on this figure that really made me fall in love with him, with this wonderfully strong triangular nose, straight line for a mouth and deep set eyes mostly holding onto their original black and white paint. Certainly once paddles extended from his arms, which would spin in the wind, but I rather like the straight across line of his empty hands nowor one could stick other things through the holes at the end of his arms! 7 5 8" t x 5
