About the Item

CARVED TROPICAL HARDWOOD CROCODILE FIGURE Probably mid-20th century 6 7/8" H x 9 5/8" D x 22 1/2" W A large hand-carved hardwood figure of a crocodile, shown with open jaws and detailed serrated teeth, textured scales, and deeply incised skin patterning. The body is carved from a single block of wood, with the underside left plain except for the continuation of the tail and limbs, and displays a visible age-related shrinkage crack running along the belly. The crocodile has fabulous size and presence - the way it walks free of a base makes it ideal for presenting on a low-table or sofa table display where it can add some texture and surprise. Condition: Visible crack to underside, minor surface wear consistent with age and handling. ref. 504CPR15A About silla antiques art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
