A charming hand-carved wooden folk art sculpture dated 1929, depicting a sturdy horse standing beside a feed barrel. This remarkable piece captures a quiet moment from rural life, with the horse leaning forward as if pausing to eat after a day’s work.

Carved from a single block of solid wood, the sculpture showcases wonderful hand-worked texture throughout the horse’s mane, body, and tail. A simple saddle and harness are incised into the surface, adding authentic detail without disturbing the rustic character of the carving. The carved date 1929 appears at the base, anchoring the piece firmly in the early twentieth century.
