Description

Two wisement that are a folk art type. They were hand crafted by J. Austin in 1993. I do not know where they were purchased as they were a gift from a friend 18 years ago. Only two have managed to survive over the years. The faces have much detail and feel like ceramic but are not. Clothing is made of cheesecloth type material. Base is on chunk of tree wood. Both figures are signed on bottom.
