Really finely carved husband and wife in hand sewn clothes from Tennessee. They are from the 1930's and you can tell that the carver was experienced. You can actually see wrinkles in their faces and the great protruding chins. Her bonnet is lovely but her hair is carved beautifully. They are fully jointed and the joints actually work. They are 9 1/2" tall. The show appropriate wear for their age with the overall showing some weakness from the acid in the wood but it is on the back so it doesn't show. They are circa 1930's and are really special.
