also suggesting mountains

These are from a group of wonderful old handmade animals I found this past weekend in New Hampshire (and splurged a bit on as I think they're pretty special)--I believe from a Noah's Ark set

with fold lines as evident but it will lie flat

Each is about 3 1/2" long x 5/8" tall and wide without posts

Serene Feeling Folk Art Larger Carved Head, Mounted to Custom Base wounded figure also suggesting mountainsThis carved folk art head feels to me very serene; if he were he to have a body, I believe he would be sitting cross legged on the floor! He also has a bit of the aspect of an alien, as in from outer space. (And if you happen to follow the Celtics, doesn't he look a little like Derric White, ha!?) I really don't know much other than he came to me from the collection of Joey Lin, Anonymous Works, and that he surprises me every time I look at him
