they are a glued carving and are not suitable for children to play with

PYE'S Surgical Handicraft Book Carving/ Altered Book goth The book has an ArtThis is 1950' 60s medical hand book for Doctors and Nurses to show how procedures should be done. It was a combination of graphic photographs and illustrations. I chose the latter to use for this carving. The book is sealed and has a Perspex front to keep it dust free. It is a free standing sculpture but it can be adapted for a wall hanging done on request with no extra charge. The Carving is a free standing carving for shelves, mantels, table tops
