A large vintage wooden hand carving of a pig… we think but it could be a seal… we are not quite sure due to the damage. From a private collection of around twenty folk art style wood carvings that we have acquired and will be listing through August 2024. All from Austria / Germany / Black Forest regions with assorted damage and wear. We were told some of them come from large wooden musical organs that used to be transported around towns, others from churches and chapels and others are from unknown sources but we don’t know the original use of individual pieces.
