Tiny Cherokee Carving of Woman Holding Bowl by Watty tables especially across the nose and

especially across the nose and chin of his very marvelous face

Tiny Cherokee Carving of Woman Holding Bowl by Watty tables especially across the nose andA quick search led me learn that the "Watty" who signed this tiny carving was Cherokee carver Wahdih Watty Chiltoskie (1897 1973), who came from a family of carvers.
