I love this carved wood beagle board - it's not very vintage, maybe 12-20 years old? It has a ton of character and charm, and will hold leashes or other gear for your dogs - especially if you have a beagle or two!
I believe the brindle 'spotting' was added to a finished piece, probably to make this look like a particular dog. I've known a couple of greying beagles myself. It's been signed by the artist on the back.
Measures about 8 1/2" tall overall, 7" wide. Condition is very good, nice and sturdy.
