Wooden Letter Opener with Carved Head lavender made into a bookend atMy favorite thing about this carved letter opener are the very finely done tiny ears! The whole thing is pretty great though, and I really like how the figure is executed as a bust, with especially nice profile views showing strong jawline and high cheekbones. The notch in the blade half way done is pretty great too. Very nice. 7 1 2" long x 3 4" wide x 9 16" deep. Very good vintage condition.
