Large Hand-Carved Solid Wood Pig Sculpture – African Folk Art

£ 45.00

On offer is a rare and charming large hand-carved solid wood pig sculpture, standing an impressive 11 inches tall. This beautifully executed piece showcases expert craftsmanship, with careful attention to anatomical detail, expressive features, and a rich, natural wood grain finish.

Hand-carved from solid hardwood, the sculpture is heavy and substantial, making it not only a delightful decorative piece but also a testament to traditional carving techniques often found in African folk art. It is likely an import from Africa, where such animal sculptures are a celebrated part of artistic culture, often symbolizing prosperity, fertility, and abundance.

An important detail to note: the base of this pig has been drilled by border customs, a common practice for imported wooden items, to check for contraband or hidden materials. These drilled inspection holes do not detract from the piece’s overall visual impact or charm but rather add a layer of authenticity to its journey and history.
