Hiker with Heavy Load, Antique Real Photo Postcard color spectrum I find quill work pretty

I find quill work pretty incredible (for a long time I did not believe it was actual porcupine quills that were used) but usually the pieces that cross my path (and that I can afford) are in pretty rough shape

who gets paraded out and dragged around--with the thought I'd leave the additional two as a surprise

with plenty of irregularities indigenous to the stone and carving but no notable chips

and then more French knots decorating his tall pointy hat

but also great from an object design standpoint--and perhaps to keep handy for announcing one's daily mood

A little wear at the corners but overall very good condition, with unused back. Approx 3 1 2" x 5 1 2".
