Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Cowboy Boot Sculpture

Description : A one-of-a-kind hand-carved wooden cowboy boot sculpture with an intentionally rustic, heavily textured surface. The tall Western boot form features a pointed toe, raised heel, carved folds and an open split shaft that emphasizes the handmade construction. Tool marks, irregular contours, natural wood variation and areas of age-related wear give the piece strong folk-art character. The sculpture is signed and dated on the heel, adding interest as an individual artisan-made decorative object.
