Signed Wooden Folk Art Figurine by S. Wodynski, Central Europe, ca. 1970s
About the Item
This charming vintage wooden figurine, signed "S. Wodynski" on the underside, portrays a bearded man in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat, holding a walking stick. The character appears to represent a wandering wise man or forest hermit — a recurring figure in Central European folklore.
The sculpture is hand-carved from wood with expressive detailing, particularly in the beard, facial features, and garment folds. It is finished with a dark stain or burnishing that highlights the contours and adds visual depth. Likely created in the 1970s in Czechoslovakia or a neighboring region, this piece reflects the rustic aesthetic and storytelling tradition of regional folk art.
An excellent decorative object or collector’s item for lovers of handmade European woodwork.
