Jesse Gurule, Navajo Folk Art Courtroom Scene, Commissioned Two-Piece Carving
Located in Mount Horeb, WI
An extraordinary one-of-a-kind courtroom scene by Diné (Navajo) artist Jesse Gurule, commissioned as a wedding gift for a Pennsylvania attorney. Carved and painted entirely by hand, the ambitious two-piece composition brings together a judge, defendant, and twelve-member jury, each rendered with an individual personality and expression. The larger section presents the jury seated in three tightly arranged rows behind a wooden rail. Gurule’s vigorously faceted carving gives each juror a distinctive appearance, with exaggerated noses, deeply set eyes, varied clothing, hairstyles, gestures, and expressions. Together, they form a wonderfully animated cast of characters who appear alternately attentive, skeptical, amused, and bewildered by the proceedings. The companion section depicts the stern, white-bearded judge seated behind his bench, facing a solitary defendant. A pair of carved candlestick-like objects and a small container marked “White XXX Lightning” rest prominently on the judge’s desk...

Exceptional Early American Folk Art Table Cover with Birds
Located in Mount Horeb, WI
An exceptional early folk art table cover, hand-sewn in wool appliqué and embroidery, dating to approximately 1870–1890. The bold composition centers on a large diamond-shaped reserve filled with flowering vines and colorful stylized birds, surrounded by rows of individually appliquéd floral medallions. The deeply scalloped border is formed from elongated wool tabs, each embellished with a small flower and secured with contrasting blanket stitching. Worked in a rich palette of black, cream, red, green, blue, and yellow, the textile displays remarkable variety and an especially strong graphic presence. Closely related to the 19th-century tradition of wool “penny rugs...
