Curious Old Stone Garden Guardian for the bathroom Very late 19th or earlyLove at first sight with this guy, though I have no idea whence he came, or what is this plank, or staff, or? he holds in one fingered hand. He's definitely done some duty as a watchman of sorts somewhere, with scrapes and wear all over, especially across the nose and chin of his very marvelous face, as well as a notable blow to the back of his head. For me a highly empathetic character who looks as if crying out for a break! 13 5 8" tall x 4 1 4" w x
