Antique Folk Art Carved Wood Jointed Dancing Figures Dolls Sailor, Am. Indian
Item History & Price
Here is a trio of very unusual antique folk art originals: 3 hand-carved, articulated/ jointed figures with original paint depicting a Native American Indian, Sailor, and a whimsical Rooster Man. They were caved most likely in the 19th century or, at latest, early 20th century.
The American Indian is fastened by threads at the neck in the cushioned center of an old tintype frame (can be removed if desired); the other two figures are not connected to the frame but were placed t...here for the first two photos.
Judging from the sailor's pageboy haircut, the figure could be depicting a child in his sailor outfit.
Dimensions: The sailor is 2.5 inches high; the other two figures are approximately 2-1/4 inches high.
Condition is as shown in photos. The tip of the Rooster Man's beak is missing as is the paint on some of his red comb.
Thanks for bidding on this truly one-of-a-kind lot of folk art originals.
