Hand-Carved Wooden Cactus Sculpture ' Bird Perch Figure ' Southwest Modern Folk Art 🌿 DESCRIPTION This hand-carved wooden sculpture appears to represent a stylized cactus with a bird perched at the top, combining Southwestern subject matter with mid-century modern abstraction. The elongated cactus form emphasizes vertical movement and stability, while the bird adds a quiet narrative element - a moment of stillness and observation. Carved from a single block of hardwood, the sculpture retains visible tool marks, natural grain, and warm tonal variation that speak to hand craftsmanship. Rather than precise realism, the artist chose simplification and silhouette, allowing the piece to feel timeless, symbolic, and open to interpretation. Well-suited for display on the floor, a low pedestal, or as a sculptural accent in a curated interior, this piece brings texture, story, and regional character to any space. 🧾 DETAILS Type: Hand-carved wooden sculpture Subject: Cactus with bird (abstract interpretation) Era: c. 1950s-1970s Material: Solid hardwood Style: Southwest Modern / Folk abstraction Finish: Natural aged wood Artist: Unknown 📐 MEASUREMENTS Approx. 17" tall Base approx. 5-6" wide 🧼 CONDITION Vintage condition with surface wear consistent with age and hand carving.
