Western Folk Art Hand Carved Wood Bison Relief
Offered in this lot is an Original Signed Western Folk Art Hand Carved Wood Bison Relief, signed on reverse "NS". Bison are some of the beautiful animals that represent the American West. Capturing the imaginations of pioneers and Native Americans alike, the American Bison in the nineteenth century thundered across the Great Plains of the American West in the millions. They symbolized the abundance of the land, and for centuries played a vital role in the lives of Native Americans, providing sustenance and spiritual nourishment. Wild and majestic, revered and hunted, buffalo have long captured the popular imagination, and their iconic images figure prominently in America’s art. In this hand carved relief, the bison has a rust-coloured stain against the light background stain and even lighter foreground stain. The solid wood folk art is in very nice condition, upper hole on reverse for wall hanging. Measures 10"W x 12.25"L x 1.25"D, weight 1lb, 14oz.
