Description from the seller

Wooden figurine of a young man on a stump with a bundle of hay/firewood.
Folk art – probably Germany/Austria
End of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century

Beautiful hand-carved wooden statue, dark patinated, with exceptionally careful detailing for rustic woodcarving. The young man stands on a stump and carries a bundle of hay or firewood on his shoulder – a classic motif from Alpine folk art. The carving technique is lively and expressive, with attention to expression and anatomical lines. It is a fairly unique piece with its own very lively character. The inside is hollow; you could also see it as a decorative vase.

Condition
In keeping with age; there are no noticeable defects that disrupt the overall appearance.
