Ernie Hansen
Recumbent Dog (Mid to late 20th Century.)
About the artist, courtesy of AskArt.com, where Mr. Hansen is described as a Grassroots Artist: 'Lived near McClouth, Kansas working as a mechanic and making furniture in his woodshop. Also made animals, many with battery-powered eyes that light up when you pull the tail.'

The carved wood and found objects figure of a dog. The tail is connected to a mechanism designed to complete a circuit and light the eyes while also opening the mouth.
Measures 9 x 10 x 6 inches.
