Excellent Little Long-Eared Dog Head Mold decorative lacquer with the only visible flaw

with the only visible flaw being a tiny chip at the very tip of the peak of one of the dark cranes

the smaller a female-- on carved bone posts

Early 20th century or so I would think

Excellent Little Long-Eared Dog Head Mold decorative lacquer with the only visible flawPerhaps to go along with the headless dog mold I just listed, this little head, which also looks a bit like an arrow when turned on its side. The steel outlines for the eyes combined with the long ears really do it for me. It feels strangely existential, also looks a bit like an emoji waiting for circulation. Great on both sides, though with a number 8 in ink on the back side. 3" t x 1 11 16" w, good condition.
