Details

Late 19th c. or early 20th c. painted wooden figural mechanical Whirligig on metal stand. Stand can go with the sculpture or put on your own stand.

African American mammy dressed figure churning butter I believe, or perhaps washing clothes. Not sure. Functions as it should when the wind blows the propeller. A nearby red roofed farm building adds to the charm.
Not touched other than placing on stand. Original and a wonderful example of American Folk Art.

Main portion measures approx. 14.5" long x 10.5" tall.
The propeller is showing a 15.5" span.
