SOLD Folk Art Gourd Person with Great Carved Face and Twig Arms and Legs! tabletop picture frame A painted by hand

A painted by hand

I think the troop 16 may be of Danvers

the head of which seems already to have been cut

attached by his feet--I think their forms

That intense bright red eye lends the perfect punctuation and seems to follow one around the room

SOLD Folk Art Gourd Person with Great Carved Face and Twig Arms and Legs! tabletop picture frame A painted by handI wouldn't have predicted I'd go in for a carved gourd figure, but I think this guy is fabulous, with carved twigs for arms and legs and just the sort of awkward and open face that would make me fall for a carving of any sort. With a cap made from the opposite end of the gourd, which was cut off to expose the legs. (Looking up the skirt one can see the bark was left on most of them.) Great all the way around, with a terrific surface too. 16" t x 5 1
