Ten Little Old Erzgebirge Carved and Hand-painted Wooden Pigs Haitian oil painting Perfect on the counter filled

Perfect on the counter filled with fresh fruit or veggies

really a little gem of a painting

I really love this old hand holding a ball between two fingers just as an object to set anywhere

but also for its lineage among what one imagines are many thousands of similar photos taken at this tree over many many years

though it appears to be unsigned

Ten Little Old Erzgebirge Carved and Hand-painted Wooden Pigs Haitian oil painting Perfect on the counter filledI have to think this collection of 10 antique German hand carved and painted little wooden pigs was formed over time, gathering a pig or two from various sets of farm animals. And quite a wonderful collection I think it is, with a range of sizes and varieties, all of them quite old I believe, and very charmingly painted, and lending themselves to all sorts of arrangements. (And, happily, some balance well on the backs of others!) Very sweet. Largest
