Our house is full of things -strange and quirky things got from I know not where. This is one of those things. Its a bottle stopper (a bit redundant in this house!). Its carved out of wood and painted by hand and, as you can see, depicts a man and woman. What you can't see is that at the back there is a lever that ,when depressed, makes the man doff his hat and the figures heads turn to each other and kiss!
It looks like it was made in the late 50s or early 60s, probably in Germany.
Great to paint!
