Super Folky Vintage Folk Art Cat handmade loom with losses to right corners

with losses to right corners as evident and an old fold line down the center

looking a bit like a pipe and a bit like a whistle and a bit like a shoe too

I've searched and not found another bear like this one

her MA from University of Missouri Kansas City

I really love the this carving

Super Folky Vintage Folk Art Cat handmade loom with losses to right cornersThis guy is not especially old, but he's wonderfully homely, with these electric yellow eyes, resin I'd guess, making an already great face even better. Great paint job, great green whiskers, meow meow! Dimensions 8" tall x 7 3 4" long x 2 1 4" wide. Very good condition. C. 1980s or so I would guess.
