Description: This is an unusual and intriguing Antique Old Civil War Trench Art Primitive American Folk Art Wood Figure, depicting an overweight and armless man, with short wavy hair, and a stoic and serious facial expression. This figure was acquired from a substantial Civil War relic collection, and was described to me as "whittled Civil War trench art." I have no other background information about this piece, but it is carved from a small piece of lightweight wood, and certainly exhibits the proper age, with scuffs, wear and age-related patination throughout (please see photos.) Approximately 5 1/2 inches tall x 1 3/4 inches wide. Just to clarify, the arms are not "missing," this artwork was purposely carved without arms (please review photos carefully.) I have seen several pieces of whittled folk art created at Andersonville Prison, Georgia by Union soldiers, and I suspect that this item might be one of them. Acquired in Los Angeles County, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
