SOLD Folk Art Gourd Person with Great Carved Face and Twig Arms and Legs! copper print block from what I understand is

from what I understand is actually an old nail rake

I  know that this sign was salvaged from a factory in Indianapolis prior to demolition

perhaps especially that blue elephant with long trunk and the long yellow beak of the bird

But it is the painting of the horse at the center of the wall box that really sold me on this--definitely the improvisatory addition of whoever made this many years ago

The lid of one features an archer in green and burgundy on yellow horse

SOLD Folk Art Gourd Person with Great Carved Face and Twig Arms and Legs! copper print block from what I understand isI wouldn't have predicted I'd go in for a carved gourd figure, but I think this guy is fabulous, with carved twigs for arms and legs and just the sort of awkward and open face that would make me fall for a carving of any sort. With a cap made from the opposite end of the gourd, which was cut off to expose the legs. (Looking up the skirt one can see the bark was left on most of them.) Great all the way around, with a terrific surface too. 16" t x 5 1
