The hand-carved wooden piece showcases a human face with a playful expression, adding a unique and whimsical touch to its functional purpose. The intricate carving demonstrates Biehn's masterful craftsmanship, with every detail expertly executed. The cup holder, which measures an impressive 12 inches in height, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. Its wooden body, adorned with colorful watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil accents on paperboard, adds depth and visual interest to the piece.
