Woman in Fancy Hat, Antique Mounted Poirtraut, Currier & White, Haverhill MA whimsy knot he is not much more

he is not much more than a silhouette

with its speckles all over together with veins in the alabaster showing through making it extremely believable if not all that appetizing

looking to nest somewhere

and nicely done but not at all fussy

which makes me rather nostalgic for the summer now at its end

Woman in Fancy Hat, Antique Mounted Poirtraut, Currier & White, Haverhill MA whimsy knot he is not much moreLove her face, love her hat, and love how that fantastic pyramid of a hat is counter balanced by the stripes and flounces of her collar. To my eye formally just right, and a fun one! 2 3 4" x 2 5 16", very good condition. Stamped Currier & White on reverse, of Haverhill, MA. Late 19th c. I believe.
