Asian Breastfeeding Mother and Stand Carved Wood
This is a hand-carved wooden figure of a nursing mother and infant, and a hand-carved wooden stand. I believe it may be one of those models for use in a medical practice, but I'm not positive about that. It's in very good condition.
7.75" long x 2.75" high x 2" wide. The combined weight of the figure and stand is 5.5 ounces.
