Quite a nicely carved little hunting dog I'd say, with the grain of the wood enhancing a sense of its alertness and forward pointing readiness; one can almost feel it sniffing out a scent! Nice warm patina to the dry wood; mid-century I'd guess, with a mcm sort of sleekness about it.
4 7/8" x 3 1/4" t x 1 3/8" and in very good vintage condition.
