Title: 2 wood pieces - How should I list them?
Post by: rustyattic on December 23, 2012, 06:40:51 PM

Any idea what the rat is?  It's solid, but lightweight and about 13 inches long.  I'm gonna glue the antler back on the deer. Is it considered 'folk art?' It's a foot long.

Sure is a fat tail for a rat !!  You could consider it folk art !!  The deer looks like chalkware !!

The maker has been a little bit liberal when making it...personally speaking..it no more looks like a rat..than flying in the air... ;D...looks more beaverish....

poor beaver rat.  The deer is wood.  There's some newspaper that is practically glued on from sitting in a box for so long.
