Hand carved and painted with a crackled finish that gives the piece tremendous rustic character and warmth.

The carving displays charming stylized features including inset eyes, carved paws, textured tail, and a softly worn painted surface that enhances its primitive appeal. Signed by the artist and likely originating from Quebec folk art traditions, this substantial piece makes a fantastic decorative accent for cabin, lodge, woodland, or Canadiana-inspired interiors.

Shows age-related wear including surface scratches, paint loss, craquelure, scuffs, and natural wear consistent with folk art pieces of this nature. The aged painted finish and wear contribute beautifully to the authentic rustic character of the carving. Please refer to the listing images for close-up photos of the item’s condition.
