One Cloud, One House, Big Mountains, Poignant Snapshot Photo useful gift completely oblivious

completely oblivious

Overall size is 5 7/8" x 6"

which feels like winter desolation but for the scarlet red hat or scarf pulled over the head of the figure otherwise all in black at center right

and for the folkiness of the the carving

I find this just about the most gorgeous and satisfying salvaged architectural element I have ever seen--antique

One Cloud, One House, Big Mountains, Poignant Snapshot Photo useful gift completely obliviousThis one is all about that single puff of cloud for me, looking almost as if a little cough emitted from between the two peaks of that mountain. And then this one little house, positioned exactly under the cloud, as if the cloud centered itself on the house in order to provide a bit of shade, or to lend a little coziness amid the vastness. To my eye formally, and metaphorically, perfect. 4 1 8" x 2 7 8", very good condition, clean and crisp.
