Fabulous Little Carved Folk Art Cat, Signed chicago artist Super sweetWhat a face on this fabulous little folk art cat! He or she really looks to be pondering deep thoughts or perhaps very seriously eyeing a mouse nearby. The eyes on the wonderfully carved, slightly wonky face appear to be stained or painted very dark brown or black while the rest is a warm, reddish brown. Signed with what I think is PM on the bottom. 2" tall with tail x 2 1 4" l x 15 16" d. There is a little cracking to the wood on the front side,
