FOLK ART WOOD CARVING OF CHICKEN WHITTLED BY DISABLED ARTIST FROM ICELAND WITH T

Description

Up for bid is a whittled wood, hand carved,
Folk Art Chicken (Rooster)
.  I personally purchased it from a shelter that is a workshop for disabled individuals who live in the Country of Iceland, many, many years ago to help support the workers.  I really like the look of this Rooster, made entirely of wood.  The only color is the red Rooster's comb and its red hanging wattle   It is about 7 1/2" tall to the end of the tail feathers and about 5 3/4" wide from the front of the logs, which the Rooster is standing, to the end of the tail feathers.   It has its original tag which gives the following information:  "Asgarour Hardwork Shop [Name of the shelter] was established in 1993 and is a shelter workplace.  The disabled workers produce a range of handmade wooden toys and lifestyle items.  Asgarour is  proud of the production and they emphasize on developing simple, strong and beautiful toys that are inspired by the Icelandic reality.  Most materials used is Icelandic tree and every product is handmade." The
condition is Excellent,
with no cracks.  It has been stored in my closet and never displayed.  This Rooster is simple and stands straight and tall.  It will look great in your kitchen or on a shelf or wherever you place it.  Thank you for bidding on this Rooster and I wish you good health!
