Haitian Carved Wood Kissing Couple sterling silver polar bear but this piece closely resembles

but this piece closely resembles the work of Graciella Laffi from the 1950s-60s

5" long x 4 1/4" tall x 3/4" wide and in great vintage condition

I also like the interplay between the form of the vase and the glaze on top of it

and indeed

A mix of rustic and refined

Haitian Carved Wood Kissing Couple sterling silver polar bear but this piece closely resemblesI just love the intensity of this kissing couple, Haitian, and carved from one piece of wood. I especially love that the these two lovers are joined at both lips and noses and it certainly feels like their eyes are locked on one another as well! Her body forms a base such that the carving can stand upright, while also looping up to become him, in a gesture that feels like a forever embrace. A perfect little gift for one's soulmate! 4 1 2" tall x 2 1
