carved stool upon which this wonderful figure sits

Plus the great petit point (tiny needlepoint) basket of flowers at the center surrounded by green and red ribbon knotted to form roses and vines

ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) combined the pink triangle with Silence=Death to draw attention to the the disproportionate impact of AIDS on gay and bisexual men

but also with child-drawn pencil outlines of a handful of them and some hand-written text

to my eye very beautifully aged

Vintage Brown Glazed Clay Head (Sherrod Brown!) early 19th century painting carved stool upon which thisI purchased this one from the estate of an artist collector dealer activist near me, along with a second head also listed today I've held on to them for a bit, but thought this a good and timely week to list them, especially as this one strikes me as looking very much like a hopeful Sherrod Brown! (And the other like Martin Luther King Jr.) Wonderfully expressive, and hopefully continuing to read as optimistic rather than melancholic for years to come
