it is just no longer attached to something that would hold it tightly clamped

This one was done by the same unknown child as the page filled with alphabets I just listed--a child I am sure I would have really liked

Wonderfully Awkward Carved Folk Art Carved Nude lucite 1870s-80s I would guessOne more nude for today, looking at once bold and brave and a bit awkward too, as if not entirely sure what to do with those arms but determined not to cover herself. I love her narrow hips in relation to her broad shoulders, making for an especially endearing rear view. With a stump just behind her feel and calves, which could just be the remnant of the apple tree, making this a post Eden Eve. Perfectly finished with a few dabs of red paint too. 12 1
