Leather Humpback Whale on Custom Steel Stand

About the Item

This mid-20th-century American hand-crafted leather humpback whale, found in one of Oregon's picturesque coastal towns, is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship and creativity. Expertly molded by hand, the dimensional body of the whale showcases the skillful manipulation of leather to create lifelike volume and form. The whale's eyes, mouth, fins, and blowhole are adorned with intricate hand-tooled patterns, adding a touch of artistry and detail to the piece. Mounted on a custom steel stand, the whale appears to be swimming playfully, with its tail flipping wildly, creating a dynamic and captivating display. This unique and charming leather humpback whale is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a whimsical addition to any space. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or office, it is sure to spark conversation and admiration with its craftsmanship and playful design.
