This handcrafted folk art tiger sculpture, carved from solid wood and painted in bold colors, is a striking example of primitive artistry. The tiger’s body is painted in bright yellow with irregular black stripes, accentuating its stylized form. Its exaggerated, open-mouthed expression, showing sharp teeth and a vivid red interior, adds a whimsical yet fierce quality to the piece. The elongated, angular limbs and tail give it a unique, almost abstract shape, highlighting the artist’s imaginative interpretation of this majestic animal. With its charmingly rough-hewn details and vibrant character, this sculpture embodies the essence of folk art, blending cultural motifs with an expressive, rustic aesthetic. A perfect piece for collectors who appreciate the raw creativity and authenticity of traditional handcrafted works.
