 Carved Folk Art Horse

Perhaps the richest area of American folk sculpture is that of animal figures.  This menagerie encompasses virtually every creature of land, sea, and air, and some imaginary ones as well.  Representations of eagles are the most common, followed by such domestic animals as cats, dogs, and horses.  Presented here, we have a very fine and finely carved horse, probably a favorite of the carver.

 

The talent of the carver is evident in the treatment of the finely molded head as well as the mane and tail.  This is wonderful Folk Art from someone who understood the skeletal structure of the animal. Standing 12" high, the carving is in excellent condition with a wonderful patina.
