We haven't seen one of these magnificent statues in many years. It's part of a series of college football mascots made by an unknown company circa 50's sometimes referred to as Family Portraits. We thought this might be the Kentucky Wildcat but there is some doubt because of the uniform coloring. The statue measures a little more than 12" tall. It was carved out of a single block of wood and painted beautifully to reflect the team colors. These statues are even more defined than the Carter-Hoffman series. The statues in this series are all considered rare and this one is an absolute beauty.
