Description:
|
This is a vintage wood carving, large and very heavy, it has no structural cracks, see pictures for visual details. It was carved by a folk artist in the naive or folk style of Eastern Europe (Romania) representing a religious theme (Adam and Eve theme.) This piece is unsigned and was purchased in the village of Ieud, Romania. Such carvings are typically displayed in village churches along icons painted on wood but are rarer. This bas-relief in its primitiveness is quite stunning and powerful and when hanged on a wall, it grabs everyone’s attention. |
