This vintage folk art sculpture, created around the early 2000s in the United States, is a handmade statue standing at 24 inches tall. Crafted from wood and signed by the artist (whose name appears partially illegible), the sculpture features a Flower Power figure with a theme of animation. The piece showcases a Story Teller subject, embodying a folk art style and production technique of carving. This unique and original sculpture captures the creativity and spirit of contemporary art from the early modern period.

Up for sale is a neat carved wood figure. I guess it was a doll or toy. I believe it dates to around 1835 or so. It does have a base with square nails. The base might be slightly later but no later than 1880. The figure has 2 nails as eyes and a carved mouth. Lots of wear to the paint. It does have some sort or nail or iron piece through its head but not sure why as the piece is all carved out of a single piece of wood. Head is not attached with the nail as far as i can tell. Neat piece of folk art. Found in Maine or NH. 4 and half inches tall. See can for scale. Condition: Nice displayable condition. Loads of wear to the paint but really its a great dry surface. Just the best patina. The best was a possible addition but I would assume it was done by 1880 if not earlier. Base shows good age and oxidation as well. See photos and video.

Charles Hart penguins have long been favorites amongst collectors of American folk art. As early as 1949, Allen Eaton chronicled Hart’s mastery in carving these aquatic birds of the southern hemisphere. A large Hart penguin carving presented to Admiral Byrd, the South Pole explorer, was exhibited in a Massachusetts decoy exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. This carving has all the features that astute collectors look for: an inletted bill, applied shaped wings, grooved feet, and beautiful rich patina commensurate with the bird’s age. Overall in very good condition , Original paint with minor wear. On bill tips and bottom of one wing. The bookend base are a little loose but appears have no restorations, repairs.
