This great vintage sculpture comes from the estate of a family who lived in Indian in the early 1950\'s to early 1960\'s. The figures are carved from Buffalo Horn and mounted on a Teak base. The image of a Crane feeding the Wolf is likely from Aesop\'s fables. Wikipedia litsts, \"A feeding wolf got a small bone stuck in his throat and, in terrible pain, begged the other animals for help, promising a reward. At last the Crane agreed to try and, putting its long bill down the Wolf’s throat, loosened the bone and took it out. But when the Crane asked for his reward, the Wolf replied, \"You have put your head inside a wolf’s mouth and taken it out again in safety; that ought to be reward enough for you.\" The sculpture measures 7\" tall by 6 1/4\" x 1 3/4\" and is in very nice condition with the exception of one missing wolf tooth.This would make a lovely gift for Christmas!!
