Abstracted Figure(s), Modernist Mid Century Carved Sculpture antique chalkboard and especially love the three

Abstracted Figure(s), Modernist Mid Century Carved Sculpture antique chalkboard and especially love the threeThis carving, which I purchased from a mostly mid century dealer with a really nice eye, just struck me with every turn it seems just about to resolve into something, like a pair of embracing figures, or a figure carrying a child, but it never quite does and so feels perpetually elusive and dynamic.
