Dog Carving - Abby

This artifact is a wood carving of a dog. It is extremely fragile, and is made of a type of wood. The artifact is about 3 inches by two inches and is missing all but one leg. It was most likely from the Victorian era, or 1829 to 1860. The artifact was probably used as either a toy, or an art piece. The act of carving this piece also could have been a pastime for a person. This artifact could fall into the category of art and cultural expression, because it could have been an art piece, childhood vs. adulthood because it may have been a toy, and it could be in technology/technological change because it was definitely hand carved, and was not made by a machine that we would have today.
