Folk Art Wood Carving of Whaler/Ahab/Sailor

The expression on this folk art sailor's face has a hesitant smile. Wry & shy, he is looking to the side, one hand in his pocket & w/slumped shoulders. He is hand-painted w/white pants & shirt, a grey jacket, cap, hair & beard and a black belt, shoes and eyes. His cheeks have little pink spots. He is holding a long spear painted grey at the top, & he's standing glued on a black painted rectangular cube. Note: tiny holes examined w/loop seem to be from bubbles in paint H: 5.75" L: 1.5" W: 1.2"
