Articulated Wood Figure by Don Ellefson, 1980s

About the Item

This almost life-sized jointed wood figure isn't just a conversation starter; he's a conversation monopolizer! Is a home really ever complete without one?! Created and designed by Don Ellefson in the 1980s, it's a nod to quirky folk art with a humorous twist. With multiple joints on wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, and ankles, it can be positioned in a variety of ways: from standing to sitting to reclining. All with a roguish grin that says: "Move over Pinocchio!" - 45.5"h, 17"w, 1.5"d - Made by Don Ellefson, 1980s - White pine, metal joint hardware - Condition: Excellent; minor blemishes to wood surface throughout
