A hand-carved decorative sculpture depicting a stylized mouse positioned atop a wedge of cheese. The item is crafted from a light-toned wood with a prominent grain and natural knots, characteristic of suar wood. The mouse is rendered with faceted chisel marks and features dark, bead-like inset eyes. The base is shaped as an angular block punctuated with several drilled holes to simulate Swiss cheese. No maker’s marks, signatures, or inscriptions are visible on the piece. The style of the carving is reminiscent of the Yorkshire school of woodcarving, though the material and execution suggest a more contemporary, hand-crafted origin.
Width: Approximately 10 cm.
