Description

This collection consists of several hand-carved and hand-painted wooden folk art figurines and decorative objects. Included are two house-shaped blocks, both signed on the underside Linda S. Elliott 1983. A figurine depicting a whimsical man seated on a brick plinth with a bird on his head is marked D.H. PETERSEN 1995 on the base. The group further contains various bird and duck carvings, including a large duck decoy with an incised monogram on the base appearing to be LH or JH, a smaller duck decoy, a red bird on a pedestal, and two anthropomorphic goose figures in red and white attire. Additional pieces include a stylized carved cat with green eyes, a polychrome fish, and a pull toy featuring a figure and a cow on a wooden base. The items are crafted from wood and decorated with polychrome pigments.
