Sphynx Like Carved Nude with Crossed Arm blonde horsehair brush Fabulous texture for his furThis nude was carved of an exotic hardwood, but I have a feeling the carving itself is American. Likely it was not completed, but to me she seems just right a sort of Sphynx, legs merging into block of wall, and arm crossed in front of her as if controlling passage and she herself seems like the riddle to be solved. With no mouth to speak, but holding what feels like a lot of power. 7" t x 2 3 8" w x 2 3 8" d. Very good condition. Wood is dense and
