About the Item

This remarkable 19th-century American Folk Art vessel, expertly carved from a natural burl to resemble a horse's hoof, is a quintessential example of Folk Art's imaginative and unconventional spirit. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the carving, especially at the bottom of the vessel, where the artist has skillfully recreated the intricate features of a horse's sole and frog. Adding to its authenticity and charm, the piece is adorned with a real hand-wrought iron shoe, mirroring those used in the period. Though its original purpose remains a mystery, this object transcends its enigmatic origins, embodying the essence of Folk Art: the celebration of ordinary materials transformed into extraordinary artistry through skill, imagination, and a touch of whimsy. This vessel is not just an artifact; it is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of its maker, offering a tangible connection to the rich tapestry of American Folk Art.
