Double Sided Wooden Cutout Head with Long Nose and Fancy Button Eye standing wooden figure Two hooks at bottomI'd guess this guy was based on a comics character maybe Jeff of Mutt and Jeff? but I like him just on his own terms now as a man fittingly looking rather worried about things. (Another one good for hanging in all sorts of contexts, board room to bathroom to election hallI) Nicely graphic in red, black and white paint, and I especially like the fancy blue button used for his eye on each side and those pencil drawn ears. 9 1 2" t x 7 5 8" w x 3 4"
