Folk art wood animal carving, a hand painted wooden cat statue and collector gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe arrived dressed for something important. The hat is set at a particular angle. The crossbody satchel is buckled with purpose. The lace collar is pressed. He is looking at you the way cats always look at you, as though he has been waiting, and was not entirely sure you would be worth the wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a hand carved and entirely hand painted wooden cat sculpture, nine inches tall, built from a single block of wood and then dressed in the kind of detail that requires a magnifying glass to fully appreciate. The doublet is a deep forest green, striped and shaded by hand. A wide white lace collar sits over it, painted in careful crosshatch with individual raised white dots along every edge. The satchel strap carries a hand painted gold buckle. His breeches are a warm chestnut brown, and below the hem, where the long grey tail curls out to one side, the craftsmanship continues completely around the figure in a way that rewards anyone who picks him up and turns him over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose eyes are what you notice first and keep coming back to. Layered green irises with dark pupils, painted in rings of olive and gold and deep green, with small white highlights that give them the particular quality of looking at something just beyond wherever you happen to be standing.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe face itself is a grey tabby, meticulously rendered in short painted strokes that suggest fur without trying to imitate it literally. The pink inner ear is there. The white muzzle. The precise black nose and the faint suggestion of whisker roots. None of it was printed. None of it was applied with a stamp or stencil. Every mark was placed by a person holding a brush and making a decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace him on a bookshelf between your favorite volumes and he holds court with complete authority. On a mantel or a writing desk he becomes the thing every visitor reaches for first and sets down carefully. He is not a decoration so much as a small piece of inhabited world, a character with a whole implied life, somewhere to be, things to carry, places he has already been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each sculpture is carved and painted entirely by hand, the piece that arrives will carry its own small variations. The precise set of his hat, the particular brightness of his eyes, the exact curl of the tail, all of it specific to this one carving. No two are the same. That is not a limitation. That is the whole point of buying something made this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe makes a remarkable gift for the cat person who already has too many cat things and has been waiting without knowing it for one that is genuinely art. A birthday for someone with a bookshelf that takes them seriously. A housewarming for a home that would understand him. Or simply something you buy because he caught your eye and you could not quite look away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eType: Hand carved and hand painted wooden cat sculpture, folk art figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Solid carved wood, hand painted in fine layered detail throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Grey tabby face and tail, deep forest green doublet, chestnut breeches, white lace collar, charcoal hat with brown band\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Approximately 9 inches tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetail: Raised painted lace dots, hand painted lace crosshatch, layered iris painting, carved and painted satchel with gold buckle, full painted detail continuing to the back and tail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Folk art, Renaissance costume, anthropomorphic, collector sculpture, whimsical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Hand painted and sealed.
