About
Item: A unique hand carved wooden early 20th Century figure of a ram
Description: We are proud to offer a highly characteristic and decorative early 20th Century, hand carved wooden statue of a ram. The solid wood statue stands firmly on a wooden plinth, the figure is covered in aged gesso material and shaped with great detail as shown in the photos provided. A quirky addition to this statue is that the scrotum of the beast is freely hanging and can be swung once moved. This item was uncovered in a London art Gallery’s storage unit earlier this month as part of an auction sale. This item is untouched in form and structurally secure. A highly decorative, aged, unique, quirky and rare example, as we are sure you will agree.
