"Protector One" Folk Art Crow Sculpture

About the Item

Richly textured with whimsical appeal, this late 20th century wooden crow is a delightful example of naive American sculpture. Poised mid-caw, the crow's wings are outstretched, ready to burst into flight. As though life materialized from a pile of scrap wood and metal, the crow has a palpable vitality and defiant exuberance.
