A Wonderful Antique 18th-19th Century Carved Wooden Face Of A Woman With A Folk Art Aesthetic.
The expressive, stylised features suggest it may have served a decorative or symbolic purpose, possibly designed to convey watchfulness, ward off evil, or serve a moral or religious function.
In folklore, an open mouth symbolises a shout of warning, eternal vigilance, or mockery of evil, all intended to ward off malevolent spirits.
A favourite recent find.
Condition is good, commensurate with age. Has all the wear you’d want from an 18th-19th century piece.
Measures 17cm x 13cm x 3.5cm
