This charming rustic sculpture features an elongated upright silhouette, exaggerated ears, boldly carved paws, and wonderfully naïve facial details.
Its distressed black painted surface reveals warm natural wood beneath, with expressive carving marks, weathered patina, and pronounced age-style checking that give the piece the soulful character associated with early American country folk art.
The back features decorative incised detailing, while the substantial solid-wood construction adds a sculptural presence. An appealing example of whimsical animal folk art, perfect for collectors of primitive Americana, rustic farmhouse antiques, country cottage décor, and one-of-a-kind handcrafted wooden sculptures.
Estimated mid-to-late 20th century. Exact age and origin unknown. See less
