It would be nice if all figuremakers left some identification on their work. Both halves of this handcarved head were signed by its maker, Ken Spencer. (Note how the eyes move with a very simple balance method.) Having pointed out the advantage of a signed figure, I hang my head because until recent years, I seldom signed my work.
Earlier figures would be signed in sweat, or tears, and DNA analysis would certainly protect you were there any question about it. LeeDean
