Description
CARVED TROPICAL HARDWOOD CROCODILE FIGURE
Probably mid-20th century
6 7/8" H x 9 5/8" D x 22 1/2" W
A large hand-carved hardwood figure of a crocodile, shown with open jaws and detailed serrated teeth, textured scales, and deeply incised skin patterning. The body is carved from a single block of wood, with the underside left plain except for the continuation of the tail and limbs, and displays a visible age-related shrinkage crack running along the belly.
The crocodile has fabulous size and presence - the way it walks free of a base makes it ideal for presenting on a low-table or sofa table display where it can add some texture and surprise.
Condition:
Visible crack to underside, minor surface wear consistent with age and handling.
