This little fellow is carved from a singie block without any preliminary sawing. The face is carved in the corner, automatically setting its angle. The arms and hands, folded across the chest, all fit within the proportions of a 2x2 block, 4-1/2" long. I'm not sure what profession you would give this fellow, but he certainly seems happy to serve you!
