Catbus from My neighbor Totoro

Catbus from the movie My neighbor Totoro, hand carved in a piece of cottonwood bark.
My carving has only 8 legs instead of 10, the bark wasn't long enough to carve all the legs as seen in the original artwork. Also the ''mice lights'' are missing on the top of Catbus.

  
The carving is 11.5'' in length and 3.5'' in height.




As with other cottonwood bark carvings, this one is hollowed inside to ''open'' the windows:
