Davy Crocket Carved Wood Totem - Folk Art
This wonderful carving depicts Davy Crocket, and is hand carved from wood, and hand painted. He is in very good condition, with the naturally occurring cracks in the wood, as shown in photos. He has a carved gun that is sitting in his hands that adds to his character. The measurements of this piece are 49" tall, 12 1/2" wide, and 13" deep. This lot was part of the largest collection of Folk art in the United States, owned by Kathryn Birmingham & Gerald Horton. It has been shown in Museums across the country as part of America’s Historical Folk Art. Included with the lot is a photocopy of the flyer from one of the shows at The Coral Springs Museum of Art, called “American Spirit” , from 2008, as well as a photocopy of the catalog from the Georgia Museum of Art exhibition, called “Americana – Folk Art Traditions”, 1994. This is a wonderful piece of American History, and would be a wonderful addition to any collection.
