A very rare piece of folk art depicting the exorcism of a small child. It was carved around 1910 in the mid-western United States by an unknown artist. The sculpture features wonderful details like a horned demon sitting on top of a terrified child, whose eyes can be spotted peeking out from under the blanket.
This remarkable piece of Amercian folk art was up for sale at Sotheby’s in 2019 with an estimated price of $40,000 – $60,000 USD.
Been a long time since I posted a carving, but here are some phone pics of a lil fella I finally finished! I designed this little creature and have some 2d art of him as well :)
[ID: A photo of a donkey standing near a wooden structure and a fence. It's snowing, and the donkey's back and head are covered in snow. The photo is framed by a white border with text on the bottom that reads, “He Could Have Slept In His Hut”.]
