Power Woman, 1970 Folk Art Carving, Signed Shepp sugar cube grabber but I'm not entirely sure

but I'm not entirely sure which

I believe American and think perhaps sailor made

In addition to the great hand-colored images of a pair of fierce looking condors and pink pelicans at the shore

and it appears that the cobbler's form is much older than that

Sound and not especially fragile

Power Woman, 1970 Folk Art Carving, Signed Shepp sugar cube grabber but I'm not entirely sureI keep thinking of this one as a young Michelle Obama she's got just that sort of proud presence and force. Really, I think we all need one of these to guide and inspire us. So very 1970 and so very excellent. 7 5 8" t x 2 7 16" w x 1 3 4" d at base. Signed Shepp and dated 1970s along the bottom of her coat on the back side. Very good condition, with one bit of white paint showing along the side of one shoe, which may be a repair. Sound and stable now.
