- Lot Description
Civil War, wooden full-figure carving of a Union soldier, 13.5 in. tall overall, lacking most of left leg from waist down and lower right arm due to previous break. A rather gaunt looking figure who sadly shows the stress of a hard campaign in his facial features and grizzled appearance. The subject wears a blanket roll across his breast and back and is fitted with his campaign water canteen and bullet pouch. He wears the oval “US” belt buckle, and on reverse side of belt a large ax for chopping wood. Sergeant stripes are clearly visible and carved in relief on upper sleeve of his right arm. The cross insignia over what clearly appears to be the soldier's company and regiment number “I” over “37” is carved in relief at the top of his cap.
Despite condition, a rare folk art carving that evokes feelings of what the soldier had undergone during a tough campaign.
Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co.Previous break/damage to right and left legs, few other chips/areas of loss in carving, including brim of subject's kepi, his pouch, and ax.Condition
