Hand carved folk art wooden figurine of an elderly woman in a headscarf, hand painted in brown, blue, and red tones. No maker’s mark is visible, so this is described by form and construction rather than attribution.
The piece appears to be a folk art carving with an integral carved wood base and a simple, rustic finish. The exact maker, country of origin, and era are not visible in the photos, so those details are left unassigned.
