I found this wood ??? Thing ??? Carving??? I am not really sure what it’s purpose is. I found it today and right now it was found a home on my mantle next to my face jugs. It is 9” tall and 7 1/2” wide. It is not hardwood. I am guessing pine or fir. I am guessing mid century 60s or 70s. Any ideas on this? Guesses welcome! !!!!
