Hand Sculpted Terracotta Violinist With Snake Rustic Folk Art Figure 10 Inch

This is a striking one-of-a-kind terracotta folk art sculpture of a kneeling violinist with a symbolic snake draped over one shoulder. Hand-built with a raw, primitive surface and earthy tones, this unique piece has a soulful presence and a strong narrative feel. Hollow underneath and fired in natural clay, it has a solid weight and displays beautifully on a shelf, pedestal, or mantel. Height: 10 Inch Width: 6 1/2 Inch Depth: 8 Inch Weight: 5 lbs Material: Hand-formed terracotta clay Design: Kneeling violinist with snake crossing one shoulder Style: Rustic, primitive, folk art, figurative sculpture Color: Natural clay with mottled dark finish Construction: Hollow, hand-built, fired clay Origin: Artisan-made, unsigned Era: Likely late 20th century Condition: Intact with intentional rustic texture and uneven surface. There is an open area on the lower left side near the base — this may be original to the firing process or an old loss to a thin clay edge. The exposed clay is aged and matches the rest, does not affect display or stability.
