IT IS OF EUROPEAN ORIGIN- IT MAY BE ANRI - AND  IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT NEW.  THE SCULPTURE IS CARVED FROM ONE BLOCK OF WOOD AND IS 12 & 3/4 INCHES TALL. THE CARVING IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HOWEVER, IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE THUMB ON THE BOWLING HAND MAY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BUT THIS IS HARDLY NOTICEABLE AND IS MENTIONED FOR ACCURACY ONLY. ( THIS WAS NOT OBVIOUS WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED ). THERE IS GREAT  DETAIL IN THE CARVING SUCH AS THE BUTTONS ON THE VEST, A BELT, THE BOOTS, AND THE FACIAL EXPRESSION OF THE BOWLER. THIS SCULPTURE IS BEING OFFERED AS USUAL IN MY LISTINGS, WITHOUT ANY RESERVE. Place a Bid!
