Charming Hand-Carved Wooden Sculpture of a Man with Toothache – Signed 'K.R.'
About the Item
Man with toothache, head wrapped in cloth.
This expressive and whimsical wooden sculpture captures a universally relatable moment: a man suffering from a toothache. The figure leans forward in visible discomfort, clutching his cheek with both hands, while a traditional cloth is tied around his head — a time-honored home remedy for dental pain.
Expertly hand-carved from a solid piece of dark wood, the sculpture balances rustic charm with a strong sense of character. The artist has skillfully rendered the man's pained expression, textured clothing, and a slightly exaggerated pose that borders on the theatrical. It stands on a solid wooden base with concentric carving details, signed with the initials “K.R.” on the side.
This sculpture is both a conversation piece and a testament to the artisan's ability to tell a story through form. It would be a distinctive addition to any collection of folk art, humorous figural works, or rustic interior decor.
