Russian paper knife Voevoda. P.I.SOMOV 1918. Russian Modern.
LARGE CARVED WOODEN BOOK KNIFE WITH VOIVODA. P.I. SOMOV 1918. Made in the breathtaking spirit of Russian Art Nouveau and conveys the appearance of a thoughtful, daring governor. It is presented almost sculpturally, in three-quarters, with perky cowlicks on the hero’s helmet. The level of plastic work and artistic generalizations betray the hand of a skilled carver, if not a sculptor. Perhaps this is an abbreviation for an artel of carvers or a workshop. The magical message of the outgoing Russian modernity. Wood, carving, dark stain. Length: 39.2 cm. On the back is the inscription “P.I. SOMOV.

Русский нож для бумаг Воевода. П.И.СОМОВ 1918 год. Русский Модерн.
БОЛЬШОЙ РЕЗНОЙ ДЕРЕВЯННЫЙ НОЖ ДЛЯ БУМАГ С ВОЕВОДОЙ. П.И. СОМОВ 1918 год. Выполнен в захватывающим духе русского модерна и передает облик задумавшегося, удалого воеводы. Он дан почти скульптурно, в три четверти, с задорными вихрами на богатырском шлеме. Уровень пластической работы и художественных обобщений выдают руку умелого резчика если не скульптора. Возможно это аббревиатура артели резчиков или мастерской. Магическое послание уходящего Русского модерна. Дерево, резьба, темная морилка. Длинна: 39,2 см. На обороте надпись «П.И. СОМОВ».
