This is a lot of two hand-carved wood stands, each cut from a single piece so the three legs pass through one another and fold flat.
Open them up and each one makes a tripod that holds a bowl, a gourd, a ball or a small plant. Every leg ends in a carved animal head with drilled ring-and-dot eyes, and the large stand\'s heads have little cut ears.
What\'s Included
- 2 hand-carved one-piece interlocking folding stands: one large pale stand and one small dark stand
Size
- Large stand: approx. 9 1/4 in long folded
- Small stand: approx. 4 1/4 in long folded, approx. 4 in across open
Condition
- Small stand: open split along one leg, running from the foot end back toward the fork; stain worn pale at a few cut ends
- Large stand: dry, weathered grey-tan surface; drying checks at two foot ends; one lengthwise crack along a leg near the interlock
- Both: tool marks, knife facets and raised grain from the carving
- Both stands open and fold
Please see the photos and read the description for full details.
