Doris Coe, Sep 1905--I suppose possibly a gift to a young Doris, but I much prefer to think it was Doris who carved it, and though Doris was sometimes a name given to boys, I'd like to think our Doris was female. A sweet old whimsy, whatever the case, pine I believe, with nice detailing especially to the rounded bottom the "cage". One could string and wear as a pendant now, or hang on the wall from a nail, or just lay it amid the other whimsies in the collection--a sweet and singular addition!
5 1/2" l x 1 1/8" x 1". Good condition, no losses or repairs, nice dry patina.
