Description: I have for sale an unusual late 19th century / early 20th century paper mache and wood figure. I am not sure if this is perhaps a circus souvenir? I couldn't find anything else like it online. Also, it may be signed underneath. There looks to be two initials in pencil. Overall, the paper mache figure is in nice original condition. The only flaw I really noticed is on his side arm. The mache is splitting along the seam up down his arm. You can see an example of this in the (18th) photo above. Also, there is a little cracking to the paint under neck, but it is not to the mache, and a pin-hole to the top-back of his hat. I have provided just under (100) enlarged photos below to give you an extremely thorough look. A really cool and unique antique piece of paper mache. I am not sure where this cool little thing comes from. He reminds me of a circus performer, but I could be wrong. He has a small beard, great patina, and the colors are still nice and vibrant. The barrel he is standing on is made of wood. Size: 11" (Approx. Total Height) If you have any questions, and/or need more photos, please send me a message. Thank You
