Vintage Painted Folk Art Carving of Blonde Woman with Bright Red Lips pottery trivet I would like to have

I would like to have a proper desk in a proper office just so I could set this on it announcing my comings and goings

They feel to me midway between Italian reliquaries and Victorian glass domed waxworks

7 15/16" x 4 11/16" and in excellent condition

and lends a sense of theatricality to the image

Vintage Painted Folk Art Carving of Blonde Woman with Bright Red Lips pottery trivet I would like to haveI love this woman, including for feeling like she has been around the block, and around the block again. She makes me think a bit of Laura Dern in Wild at Heart, and of the mother in Shameless, and she's definitely got a bit of the mermaid and a bit of the country western singer to her too. And a bit of the figurehead; I imagine her mounted to the dashboard of a classic 1970s car, guiding the way forward (perhaps in the wrong direction.) 7 5 8" x 4 3
