Southern Southern American "Thank Yuo" Folk Art Carving - Man w/ Wheelbarrow

Fine Art : Folk Art, Outsider Art

 

A completely charming folk carving of a man pushing a wheelbarrow. The base is incised with the words "Thank Yuo".

With this motto, it was most likely a gift, made and given to thank the recipient. I purchased it in Georgia, where I believe it was made.

It has a wacky, naive charm, and the mis-spelling just puts it over the top for me... WOW!

Condition is great, all original. It is a primitive folk piece, so I would not expect it to be finely crafted... that's a large part of it's charm. It stands 8¾" tall, with the base measuring 10" x 2¾".

Use it to hold your business cards, or put a few candies by the door to thank people for stopping by.
