Charming Old Folk Art Jointed Man with Pointy Nose and Hat brass studded snuff box and which I think is

and which I think is original to the piece: there is a thin split on one side of the neck

functional to boot

but it's his terrific blue and red polka dotted paint job that immediately sold me

I am pretty certain they were hard-carved

otherwise light wear as pictured but no notable dings

Charming Old Folk Art Jointed Man with Pointy Nose and Hat brass studded snuff box and which I think isI found this sweet fellow and a horse clearly made by the same person together, but though he sits on the horse very nicely his proportions are a bit large for it, so Ill list them separately. In addition to his fabulous face and cap, what I especially love about him and the horse both is all of the different postures they can be manipulated into, making them feel super expressive and full of life. Nice warm patina to the dry pine too. 8 1 2" tall and
