This is an older hand-carved wooden figure of a standing man holding a staff. The carving appears to be made from solid hardwood with a naturally aged, darkened finish.
Tool marks are visible throughout, giving it a rustic, handmade look. The base still has part of an old gold label that begins with "GENUINE" and includes partial letters "SMO" and "PRO, " suggesting it may have been part of a labeled artisan or export piece decades ago. The wood has surface wear, light cracking, and patina consistent with age. The exact origin or maker is unknown, but the craftsmanship and finish suggest mid-century or earlier.
A striking piece of vintage folk art with character and presence-perfect for display or as part of a hand-carved wood collection.
