Terrific from every angle

3 1/4" t x 2 3/4" d

especially the underside of the flip top lid (which I believe lost its pull)

and wonderfully wild bouquet of roses she holds

I rather like the effect of this mix of toning

Marvelous Carved Folk Art Crocodile original kurt naef Terrific from every angleAmong my favorite finds ever! This old carved crocodile appears to me to have been carefully crayoned green, with black for his beady eyes and red for the inside of his giant mouth. His little feet were each carved separately then fit super snuggly into holes carved out in his sides, and his was given wonderful carved texture all down his back. To me, the complete essence of a friendly crocodile and just a marvelous thing. 9 5 8" l x 1 7 8" w x 15 16"
