seemingly untouched since then

I believe it is a boy at left in blue skirt and marvelously striped socks

just a little darkening in a few spots

Terrific patina especially to the carved head

buildings and ceramics most particularly

Scarce Grenfell Mission Wooden Handle Clutch with Needlepoint Dog and Figure in Green Parka dog with teeth seemingly untouched since thenI'm a huge fan of most everything produced by Grenfell Mission Industries, but had never come across one of these wooden handled clutch purses with needlepoint before. As evident, there is some fading and loss to the the embroidery, which depicts a figure in green parka, blue pants and black boots on a green sled pulled by a brown dog iconic Grenfell Mission imagery but I'm quite charmed by it still. Grenfell Mission was a social and medical mission
