The Cat

Low animal figure carved from a branch, stained violet, with gaping cavities and glass eyes, its neck girded by a chain.

Horizontal sculpture in wood stained violet, full view, head at left and gaping cavity at right, chain hanging.
The Cat: the whole piece seen from the side on a creased white tarp, glass-eyed head at left, chain wound round the neck and trailing in front, violet branch leading to the second head with its wide cavity, tapered tip at right
The Cat: the whole piece at three-quarter angle on a white tarp, glass-eyed head in the foreground at left, chain gathered under the neck, violet branch rising diagonally to the second head and its cavity, tapered tip dropping at right
The Cat: the two heads and the chain closer in, a dark slot holding two glass eyes under a rough ridge at left, links round the neck and spread on the white tarp, the second head at right opening onto a glossy violet hollow
The Cat: the head seen head-on, a thick violet ridge arching over a glossy black slot, two glass eyes with green and gold glints on either side of a central spur, links in the lower right corner, white tarp
The Cat: the head at an angle in close-up, a rough violet ridge above a glossy black slot where two pale glass eyes flank a central spur, chain wound round the neck at right, a short wooden fork below
The Cat: detail of the knotty violet branch body, chain lying along the wood then wound around it, the second head at right with two dark openings, tapered tip curving down, white tarp behind
The Cat: the inside of the second head in close-up, a thick rim with a rough, lumpy surface, a deep hollow whose glossy walls shade from violet to black, a few links in the lower left corner
