Description

A fabulous mid-century style hand-carved hardwood shark. 
Mid century inspired, it’s probably Caribbean origin. 
Circa 1970s-1990s vintage – modernist and retro and 1960s modernist in style.

Skilfully handmade from a lovely (rosewood or similar) – a distinctive streaky wood with defined grain. 
It’s carved all one piece. Bone inset eyes.
He’s a large long and sleek and slim sized 38cm long x 9.5cm x 4.5cm deep (sits on a narrow shelf). 
Very good condition with no chips, please check pics. 
A natural lightly-oiled finish – smooth and tactile with a sheen. 
Perfect for a mid-century inspired interior. 
Great for a collector of carved retro animals – photos don’t do him justice!
