This piece, both naive and expressive, evokes antique craftsmanship, possibly inspired by decorative garden sculptures or signage elements. Height: 85 cm. Material: carved wood. Period: 20th century (to be confirmed by expert appraisal). Condition: good overall condition, with patina and signs of age that contribute to its charm. Ideal for indoor or covered outdoor decoration, or for a collector of animal objects and antique sculptures.
