Rare - Vintage Old World Folk Art Hand Carved Wood Figure, Musical Man & Woman. This piece was made in Austria. It is unmarked but each piece was catalogued where it originated from.

DETAILS · This is an intricate and unique vintage hand-crafted piece of European (Austrian) Folk Art made between the 1930’s and 1950’s. · These types of Old-World sculptures were carved by life-long trained craftsmen and then hand-painted with great detail - in deep earthy colors.
