Vintage Hand-Carved Folk Art Statue Rustic Whittle Man with Initials as Buttons

This is a distinguished piece of authentic vintage folk art, a hand-carved statue of a man in overalls. This unique figure stands on a wooden base and is hand-painted, with a rustic finish that tells a story. Its distinguishing features include letters on the vest where buttons would be, possibly the artist's initials. The wear on the base corners and aged paint thin areas are not flaws, but rather a testament to its genuine character. Note a missing cigarette or straw from the mouth. Measures approximately 9.5" tall on a 3.25" base.
