A wonderful hand carved downhill ski racer turning around a gate, likely from the House of ANRI (Italy) - but there are no markings or stamps.  Amazing paint details.  

Note: The skier originally held two separate thin metal ski poles in his hands, which have since been lost—a very common occurrence for this specific vintage model.
