Smiling Old Wooden Man with Dainty Jointed Arms and Legs Japanese handthrown with the two pieces arrangedPhotos don't do much justice to this one, but it is a very joyful and full of life thing, with the delicacy of the jointed arms and legs really making it for me. (The red crayoned details, for smile and neckline and the fingers of one hand are pretty great too.) No hole in the back to hold him up, but there is an old nail at the top of his head, which he might have hung from, or maybe attached a hat. 10 1 4" t x 3 1 2" w. Earlyish 20th century I
