Carved Black Dog Sitting and Smiling, 4 Inches Tall

This small dog is carved from wood, painted glossy black with an orange-tan muzzle, round eyes and a smile. It sits upright with its paws folded in front and stands 4 inches tall, small enough for a desk, a windowsill or a child's shelf.

Thai village carvers make little animals like this one by the hundreds, painting each by hand, so the face and the shade of the muzzle will vary a little from the photo. It is priced as an easy gift for a dog lover. Dust it with a soft cloth and keep it away from damp spots.
