Thanks Deb, Katherine and Jerry. I'm not sure how old this statue is. When I first saw this statue I was startled because I thought it was a statue of a skeleton.But it's just the way the whitewash has weathered away.

Such a stark contrast between the color and texture of the face and the clothing, Dan. The incongruity is almost startling. Nicely done!

I love the expressive face of this statue and the beautiful lines and swirls of the wood grain, and the red clothing!

Good find, Dan! You've captured the aging of the wood well. I like the contrast of the bright red clothing against the wood tones. How old is this woodcarving?---Deb
