Swedish Folk Art Centerpiece Sculpture of 3 Cows and a Bull

About the Item

A Swedish set of four wooden carved and painted figures of a bull and three cows from early 20th century. Sweden has a long and well known tradition of folk art wooden carving. It started in the rural class, the so called "allmoge" people of the countryside. They could not afford expensive materials such as metals, ivory or ceramic so they used pine wood for the making of kids toys and decorative objects, natural resource the Swedes have plenty of just outside the door of their farm houses.
