Vintage Jenny Mendes Double Face Vessel Naujaat art maybe 1940s or soThis one came out of the same collection as the Shipibo bowls I've just listed and several of the folk art face carvings, too this one a contemporary piece by artist Jenny Mendes, of Chesterland, Ohio, but clearly drawing on many precedents! I found it (them!) holding a whole bunch of teaspoons, and it maybe should again, but maybe forks too, facing in the opposite direction! Great faces, and with a strong presence. 4 3 8 t x 5 widest d x 4 5 8 other
