EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN VINTAGE HAND- CRAFTED, PAINTED FOLK ART WOODEN. BULL WITH ORIGINAL SURFACES. This early 20th century hand-fashioned primitive folk art carved wooden bull, is complete and features hand-painted surfaces and especially well-painted, detailed eyes. The carved wooden horns are both intact and without material loss or fractures. The entire bull is carved from a central piece of pine wood, where separate legs and horns, as well as the coarse, raw cord hemp tail, are attached. The tail is also intact and original to the folk art carving. The sidewalls of the sculpture feature sponge-applied sienna brown, and black paint, that resemble the animal’s natural hide and covering. The bottoms of the legs are also intact and without any fractures. The naturalism of the bull’s carving points to familiarity with the animal and was most likely hand-carved by a farmer who once held these livestock on their New England farm. It looks great from all angles and really doesn’t have any weaknesses. It stands 13″ high and over 10″ in length and has presence and the determination the animal itself, once did. 13″ Length 10 ¼” Height x 3 ½ Depth. Very Good/Excellent overall vintage condition.
