Little Black Forest Swiss Hand-carved Wooden Lamb stoneware platter looking fabulous holding down aThis little lamb just tugs at my heartstrings, including for the fact that the tip of one of her front paws has a little chip though she's resilient and still stands proudly upright. From what I understand, she's a Black Forest carving, from Brienz, Switzerland, likely first half of the 20th century. Nicely carved, with terrific ears and super sweet drawn or painted on eyes. A super sweet addition to any menagerie! 2 1 8" long x 1" wide x 1 3 8" tall.
