Naive at it's best. Full length figure,
body natural stance of the willow and flat thin wood feet.
Hand carved from diamond willow wood, early 20th c.
This piece has spent much of it's life in storage and came
from the Canada / Minnesota line.
We were told it was done by a local Native American. There
is an early porcelain socket for a light screwed down on the
top of the head. Shaved down to size by hand and screwed
into the willow. The cord end was bad and needs replacing.
The right shade would make this a very wonderful piece for
the lodge or cabin, antique Americana and folk art decor.
This carving measures approx. 20 1/2 inches tall x 11 inches
deep on the feet x 4" wide.
Definitely a conversation piece, enjoy its unique design and
cultural significance.
Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions
prior to purchase. Thanks for looking.
