Description :

A spirited collection of hand-carved wooden bottle corks, each topped with a whimsical character head—some with expressive faces, hats, or painted details that evoke the charm of European folk art. These stoppers, likely inspired by or in the style of Anri or German mechanical corks, were crafted with humor and heart, turning everyday barware into miniature sculptures.

Adding to the ensemble is a wood-carved roadrunner whistle, a playful nod to Southwestern Americana. With its stylized form and functional whistle, it brings a touch of desert whimsy to this otherwise tavern-ready troupe.
