I honestly don't know what purpose Raymond Roseberry had in mind when he carved this small basswood head in 1948, but it is nicely carved and definitely unique! Perhaps a "Dummy's Dummy" or a "Pocket Dummy"? Regardless, it is one-of-a-kind. All original. Signed and dated inside the head. Now up for auction on eBay with several additional photos and details:
Would make a good head in a box or a head mounted on a walking stick/cane.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...head on walking stick. I think you have nailed it, Jeff!
