About the Item

A charming folk art carved wood pig, painted in original soft pink with black accents. The figure is modeled with a stout body, upright ears, and curled tail, standing on four sturdy legs. The carving captures a whimsical expression, emphasized by painted eyes and snout details. The surface shows desirable wear, crackling, and age losses to the paint, giving it a warm, timeworn patina consistent with years of handling and display. Mounted on a round painted wood base, which provides stability and enhances its presentation. This piece exemplifies early rustic carving traditions, likely created as a decorative trade sign, carnival figure, or whimsical household object. Its naive charm and authentic surface make it highly collectible as both Americana and folk art.
