Here is a HANDMADE STRETCHED LEATHER OVER WOOD AND PAPIER MACHE VINTAGE STATUE figure of a monkey, most likely a Barbary Macaque
Stretched leather over Paper-Mache and carved wood
Glass bead eyes
Note the textured surface of the leather
Measurements: (Approximate)
17" tall (bottom of foot to top of tail)
18" long (tail tip to front of face)
7" wide (shoulder to shoulder)
Weighs just over 1 lb.
Condition: Good/expected for age.
Some scuffing/fading and chipping of paint finish
A few very small spots where material is peeling
a small split in the leather near the base of the tail
-Dry and creviced on the bottoms of feet and hands
Seams can be seen at any jointed areas or between limbs and body
-The joints in the 3 legs that touch the ground are slightly weakened and have affected the balance; once in awhile I can get him to stand and balance without being propped up against anything but a majority of times this isnt the case and he topples over-may need to attach it to a base or just lean it up against something
