Painted Handmade Wooden Penguin with Long Nose Alice Nanogak Such a lovely paperweight

Such a lovely paperweight

this was my very favorite—perhaps including for the fact that his light-filled modern home was also completely loaded with iconic mid-century furniture

Wijk aan Zee and Zandvoort

original to the piece I believe

Painted Handmade Wooden Penguin with Long Nose Alice Nanogak Such a lovely paperweightAnother sweet handmade wooden animal to add the the menagerie. I really love the painting on this skinny penguin, plus its disproportionately large head and ochre colored long nose and then those tiny little feet, upon which it balances perfectly. Pretty great, and signed on the underside of one foot, with what appears to read Nak Nik (or possibly Mak Mik!) Great vintage condition. 4 3 8" tall x 1 1 2" wide x 2 3 4" deep (at nose!)
