We are offering an antique Mexican folk art life-size polychrome painted hand carved wood officer's head sculpture, circa late 1800's - early 1900's. This piece is very heavy, solid and substantial. Stands 16 1/2" tall with a maximum 11" depth and 9 1/2 width of the cap. Nicely executed with good attention to detail and coloration, well blended and shaded skin tones give the piece a warmness. We found this great old piece in a longtime collector's estate in Los Angeles; we were told by the family that he bought it from a prominent ethnographic folk art dealer years ago, but we have no other information available.

The paint appears to be all original with a coat or two of varnish added at some point in it's history for protection. Light overall wear commensurate with age There are a few surface chips around the base edge only, some scattered light rubs, scratches and flaking as shown. Please study the photos as they are a part of the description. Offered here fresh out of an estate for the first time at no reserve. We do not falsify claim forms.
