Folk art dog sculpture, hand painted in fine detail. A carved wooden dog gift by Carviani.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe is on duty. You can tell by the way he is standing, feet planted, hands at his sides, expression settled into something between patience and absolute authority. He is not unfriendly. He is simply not here to be charmed. That is the German Shepherd in a uniform and it has never been more accurately rendered in wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a hand carved and entirely hand painted wooden German Shepherd police dog statue, approximately eight inches tall. The uniform is a deep navy blue, facet carved across the shirt and trousers in the way that gives serious folk art its particular surface quality, the light catching each carved plane differently so the fabric reads as cloth rather than painted wood. A black tie, a utility belt with a painted holster, two chest pockets with carved button detail, and a black police cap with a blue band and a hand painted badge in red and gold on the crown. Every element of the uniform is present and every element is painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fur painting on this figure is the most technically ambitious portrait in the Carviani collection. Individual short strokes in warm tan, deep black, and dark grey build the German Shepherd's saddle markings from the muzzle up through the forehead and over the ears in a way that suggests real fur rather than paint on a surface. The eye is painted in concentric rings of warm amber and dark brown with a precise white catchlight that gives the expression its quality of genuine alertness. He is watching something just beyond wherever you are standing and he has already assessed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet him on a bookshelf between leather spines and he commands the shelf without competing with anything around him. On a desk he becomes the kind of object a visitor picks up, turns over in their hands, and sets back down carefully. He is equally at home in a study, a living room, or anywhere a person with a real appreciation for hand made things keeps the objects that matter to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe is an exceptional gift for anyone who has served, anyone who works alongside police dogs, any German Shepherd person, or any collector of folk art who has been looking for a piece with this kind of portrait quality and this much character in the face. Because each piece is carved and painted entirely by hand, the exact weight of the fur strokes, the precise amber of the eye, and the stance of this particular figure will belong only to this carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Hand carved and hand painted wooden German Shepherd police dog statue, folk art figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Solid carved wood, hand painted throughout in fine layered detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Warm tan and black German Shepherd markings, deep navy blue uniform, black tie and boots, gold and red badge on cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Approximately 8 inches tall 3.5 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDetail: Individual fur stroke painting in tan, black and dark grey throughout, layered amber iris with white catchlight, painted badge with gold and red detail, carved chest pocket and button detail, painted utility belt with holster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBase: None.
