Happy Couple in their Chairs, Pair of Old Painted Carvings carved stone obelisk I’ve always got an eye

I’ve always got an eye out for old art school color charts and the like

-- I have now learned that it is shaped like a Durian fruit

As a stand alone piece I think it's pretty terrific

and there are also a fair number of unfilled holes

a good one in many ways

Happy Couple in their Chairs, Pair of Old Painted Carvings carved stone obelisk I’ve always got an eyeWhat a pair, happy together for a long time already, and I do hope forever! Obviously they were carved by the same person but it appears of two different woods, and decorated with what seems to have been a water based paint, a fair bit of it lost or faded but lots of good color remaining, Great faces, great attituses, and I how the area underneath her chair was outlined but never carved out. Total charmers. Both measure about 4 1 4" t x 7 8" w x 2 1
