This characterful bull figure is a striking example of early 20th-century folk/naïve decorative sculpture, crafted from hand-formed and hand-stitched leather. Constructed from multiple leather sections joined with visible saddle-style stitching along the body and limbs, it clearly reflects artisanal, handmade production rather than factory manufacture.
The bull is captured in a tense, energetic pose—lowered head, pronounced horns and a raised tail—giving the piece strong sculptural presence and a lively, narrative quality. The surface displays an attractive timeworn patina, with natural darkening, subtle creasing to the leather, and areas of gentle abrasion consistent with age. Details such as the horns, hooves and facial features appear toned/painted to heighten expression and contrast.
