Fabulous Big Headed Smiler with Dancing Boots Vaclav Vytacil original drawing but between the hand laid

but between the hand laid type and the engravings and the embossed spine

though there might be a few lost nails

I am very happy to see the beautiful knotting around the lip exposed in all its glory

I love the look of this thing so much

done according to the Becker rather than Spencerian method

Fabulous Big Headed Smiler with Dancing Boots Vaclav Vytacil original drawing but between the hand laidWhat a face, and what a charmer! I would assume this head was originally attached to a torso complete with arms and legs, but I really don't know for sure. Whatever the case, I think the large smiling head joined by pins through metal posts to the primitively carved, dark red painted boots now is quite perfect, and the heels on those boots to my eye at least impart him with the feel to me of a cowboy, and a dancing one at that. Fabulous. 6 3 4 x 2 1 8
