Sweet Old Red Rooster Wooden Pull Toy with Alligatored Paint enlarging by grid a ceramic artist who foundedI believe this old rooster was once attached to wheels, such that one could pull him around via the string that is still attached to the front front but at some point someone did it the favor of liberating him! It's a pretty early one I believe, and for me all about the great color scheme (especially that yellow face) and aging of the paint, lending a fantastically textured surface. Perhaps a good one for the kitchen, to greet one at breakfast time! 6
